• East U-14 Division 2 Football Final

De La Salle 5-4 Clan na Gael 2-3

We won our first trophy of the year when our U-14 footballers won the Division 2 eastern championship defeating Clan na Gael in Walsh park on Saturday last. The wet and windy conditions were a factor in the match and we had the wind in the first half. Clan na Gael played very well against the wind and midway through the half lead by 1-0 to 0-1, our point coming from the excellent Evan Hayes. We improved dramatically after that and scored 3-2 in the next ten minutes, the three goals coming from Alex Keane and both points from Conor O’Shea, to lead 3-3 to 1-2 at the break.

The second half was always going to be difficult against the wind and so it proved early on. Our opponents pressed but for poor shooting would have narrowed our lead. They only had a point to show for their endeavours and when Dylan Stickel goaled for us it made their task more difficult. We continued to play well and even when our opponents goaled we replied with a goal from Josh Kelly and a point from Sultan Andnekan to run out deserving winners.

Afterwards captain Daire O’Keefe accepted the trophy on behalf of the team

• John J. Murphy East Junior B Hurling Championship

De La Salle 2-20 Passage 0-8

Our junior B hurlers remain unbeaten after they had a comfortable win over Passage in Gracedieu last Thursday. We took control of this game midway through the first half against a Passage side not helped by injuries to two players in this half and we continued to dominate throughout the second half. It was good to see the younger players progress with Eoin Treacy in particular on his first start having a fine game.

 

The first eleven minutes were even enough with both sides scoring two points each, ours coming from the excellent Conor Dunphy and Jamie Sage. Further points followed from Conor Dunphy (2), Eamonn Fitzgerald (2), Luke Lawlor (2), Ciaran Corrigan and Barry Twomey before Passage pointed before the break to make 0-10 to 0-3. Passage opened the second half scoring but Conor Dunphy and Eamonn Fitzgerald replied by the fifth minute. We got our first goal in the 10th minute when Alan Fitzgerald, Ciaran Corrigan and Christopher Sheehan combined for Barry Twomey to crash the ball to the net. Ciaran Corrigan, Jamie Sage and Eamonn Fitzgerald (2) added further points. Passage replied with two points to make it 1-16 to 0-6 after nineteen minutes. Christopher Sheehan (2) and Tom Wiltshire added to our points tally before Philip Burke and Christopher Sheehan worked the opening for Eamonn Fitzgerald to finish low to the net in the 26th minute. Eamonn followed up with a point which was our last score before a battling Passage side got the last two points of the game.

 

Scorers: Eamonn Fitzgerald 1-6 (0-4 frees, 0-1 ‘65) Conor Dnphy 0-4, Barry Twomey 1-1, Jamie Sage, Ciaran Corrigan, Luke Lawlor and Christopher Sheehan 0-2 each, Tom Wiltshire 0-1.

• John J. Murphy East Junior B Hurling Championship

De La Salle 2-9 Kilmacthomas 1-11

Our junior B hurlers got their campaign off to a winning start when they beat Kilmacthomas in Kilmacthomas last Friday. Both teams were evenly matched throughout in a game played in incessant rain but on a night when we introduced a few minors to adult hurling for the first time it took stand out performances from Jamie Sage and David Sutton to make the difference.

 

On a night when note taking was difficult both sides sent over five points in the first half with ours coming from Jamie Sage (3) and Eamonn Fitzgerald (2) but the vital scores came in the 25th and 26th minutes when first Jamie Sage and then Sean Power got inside their markers and goaled to leave us ahead 2-5 to 0-5 at the interval. The third quarter was much of the same with both sides adding three points with Ciaran Corrigan, Jamie Sage and Barry Twomey on target for us. Kilmacthomas then got a grip and pointed three frees before a 23rd minute goal made it all square. The decisive score came in the 27th minute when Barry Twomey pointed a sixty five to claim the victory.

 

Scorers: Jamie Sage 1-4, Sean Power 1-0, Eamonn Fitzgerald (frees) and Barry Twomey (0-1 free, 0-1 ‘65) 0-2 each, Ciaran Corrigan 0-1

• County Senior Hurling Championship

De La Salle 4-20 Dungarvan 3-17

Our senior hurlers made it two wins in a row when we had six points to spare over Dungarvan in a high scoring game in Fraher Field last Friday night. This was a good performance in what turned out to be a very open encounter. The foundation was laid in a half back line of the outstanding Shane McNulty, Kevin Moran and Stephen Daniels and with our full forward line of man of the match Shane Ryan, John Mullane and Eoin Madigan contributing 4-7 from play we now go into the inter county break in positive mood.

We opened the scoring in the second minute when Shane McNulty converted after David Greene was fouled having hit three wides beforehand. Dungarvan equalised in the fourth minute but a minute later good play by Eddie Barrett, Eoin Madigan and Dylan Foley created the chance for John Mullane to goal with a fine strike. Dungarvan pointed but Shane Ryan replied after a foul on Jack Fagan. It was all square in the ninth minute when Dungarvan goaled. Dylan Foley restored our lead in the 12th minute but two Dungarvan points put them ahead 1-4 to 1-3 after sixteen minutes. Shane Ryan equalised a minute later after being set up by John Mullane and we were back in front when Shane McNulty sent over a long range free after he was fouled himself. Further points followed from Stephen Daniels and John Mullane before good work by Jack Fagan and Eoin Madigan created the chance for Shane Ryan to send a ground stroke to the corner of the net. Shane then pointed a free after Eddie Barrett was fouled and points by John Mullane and Kevin Moran had us ahead 2-10 to 1-4 after twenty three minutes. Dungarvan replied with two points but we then got our third goal when Tom Moran and Jack Fagan combined for Shane Ryan to batt a high ball to the net at full stretch in the 26th minute. Back came Dungarvan to score three late frees to make the half time score 3-10 to 1-9 in our favour.

Recent injury victim Jake Dillon was introduced at half time and he made an immediate impact winning a free in the second minute which Shane Ryan pointed. Dungarvan replied but Shane Ryan added two more from a free and a sideline cut. Dungarvan pointed again in the 10th minute but a minute later we got our fourth goal when Kevin Moran surged through the middle before giving to Eoin Madigan who shot low to the net. An exchange of points involving Jake Dillon followed and then Dungarvan added two further points. Eoin Madigan pointed at the midway point of the half to make it 4-15 to 1-14. Dungarvan pointed in the 17th minute and we replied through a Shane Ryan free after Adam Farrell was fouled in the 22nd minute. Dungarvan then pointed twice but we replied with four in a row from Shane Ryan (3) and Adam Farrell to make it 4-20 to 1-17 entering injury time. Credit to Dungarvan for continuing to battle and after Shaun O’Brien first denied them a goal with a fine save they managed to get in twice to goal from close range in the 32nd and 34th minutes.

Scorers: Shane Ryan 2-10 (0-5 frees, 0-1 sideline), John Mullane 1-2, Eoin Madigan 1-1, Shane McNulty 0-2 (frees), Dylan Foley, Stephen Daniels, Kevin Moran, Jake Dillon and Adam Farrell 0-1 each.

Panel: Shaun O’Brien, Paddy Kennedy, Ian Flynn, Stephen Dalton, Shane McNulty, Kevin Moran, Stephen Daniels, Tom Moran, Eddie Barrett (captain), David Greene, Dylan Foley, Jack Fagan, John Mullane, Eoin Madigan, Shane Ryan, Jake Dillon, Eddie Meaney, Adam Farrell, Kyle Sinnott, Mikey Costigan, Kenneth Byrne, Thomas Kearney, Brian Cunningham, Gavin Coppinger, Adam Doyle, Lee Wall, Ryan Duke, Thomas Douglas, Donal Carey, Michael Doherty, Michael Roche.

 

• East Intermediate Hurling Championship

 

Butlerstown 2-16 De La Salle 0-13

 

A poor second half performance saw our intermediate hurlers go from winning by three points at half time to suffering a nine point defeat in this opening round game played in Walsh Park last Saturday night. Fielding a very young team with eleven players U-21 we were unable to deal with the more experienced and stronger Butlerstown side as the game progressed. On a positive note minor players Donal Carey, Thomas Douglas and Sean Carton got their first taste of adult action and in particular it was good to see Thomas play his first full game after recent surgery

 

The early exchanges were even enough and points from Brian Cunningham and Gavin Coppinger saw the sides level after six minutes. Points from Evan Whelan and Eoin Casey had us ahead by the 13th minute before a Butlerstown point made it 0-4 to 0-3 midway through the half. Lee Wall then came forward to score a fine point and Brian Cunningham pointed a free after a foul on Thomas Douglas. Butlerstown replied with a point but two Brian Cunningham frees and one from play by Thomas Douglas gave us a five point lead before two late points by Butlerstown made it 0-9 to 0-6 at half time. Butlerstown got the ideal start to the second half when a defensive error allowed them find the net. We responded well and points from a Brian Cunningham free and 65’ added to one from Mikey Costigan made it 0-12 to 1-6 after six minutes. Butlerstown then took control and hit four points in a row to take the lead in the 12th minute. The game’s decisive action came at the midway point when Thomas Douglas’ shot for goal was brilliantly saved by the keeper and Butlerstown came down the field and scored a deflected goal. Butlerstown then added five points in a row in a period where we spurned two goal chances and missed a couple of frees. Brian Cunningham ended our scoring in the 30th minute and Butlerstown had the final say with a point in the 35th minute for a deserved victory.

 

Scorers: Brian Cunningham 0-7 (0-5 frees, 0-1 ‘65), Gavin Coppinger, Evan Whelan, Eoin Casey, Lee Wall, Thomas Douglas and Mikey Costigan 0-1 each.

 

Panel: Donal Carey, Ryan Duke, Kenneth Byrne, Adam Doyle, Michael Roche, Jack McCarthy, Lee Wall, Gavin Coppinger, Oran Keevers, Eoin Casey, Thomas Kearney, Mikey Costigan, Brian Cunningham, Thomas Douglas, Evan Whelan, Adam O’Sullivan, Sean Carton, Bryan Phelan, Colm Morris, Jamie Sage, Robert Daniels, Ian Condon, James Stone, Luke Flynn.

 

• County U-14 Division 2 Football Championship

We continued our progress in Division 2 of the U-14 football championship with a 7-7 to 2-6 win over Portlaw /Ballyduff at Cleaboy on Saturday last. This was not as one sided a game as the scoreline suggests and were it not for the excellence of Conor Cummins in goal, the result could have been somewhat different. We lead 5-5 to 1-2 at halftime and two early second half goals appeared to have put the game to bed. However our visitors continued to chip away at our lead and were unfortunate not to add a couple of more scores.  We finished with two points to earn a somewhat fortuitous victory.

Panel: Conor Cummins, Kieran O’Sullivan, Daire Treacy , Daire O’Keefe, Jack Twomey, Evan Hayes, Jack Cox, Dylan Stickel, Sultan Andnekan, Oisin O’Connor, Josh Kelly,  Conor O’Shea, Cormac Dawson, Conor Keane, Emanuel Yartery.

• County Senior Hurling Championship

De La Salle 0-21 Ballyduff Upper 1-13

It was a winning return to management for Owen Dunphy as our senior hurlers began the championship with a five point win over Ballyduff Upper in Fraher Field last Sunday. This was a hard fought and sporting game throughout but a better conversion rate of our chances might have ensured a more comfortable afternoon. We started with seven of our U-21 winning team of last year and gave debuts to goalkeeper Shaun O’Brien and Dylan Foley with both acquitting themselves very well. We also had some fine displays from experienced players like John Mullane. It also saw the return to championship action of Michael Doherty after several years in Australia. We now play Dungarvan next Friday in Round 2.

Playing against the wind we began well with early points from Kevin Moran, Jack Fagan and John Mullane. Ballyduff Upper then hit four in a row to lead by the 12th minute. Eddie Meaney equalised in the 14th minute and a minute later it took a brilliant double save by Shaun O’Brien to keep Ballyduff Upper out. Points from John Mullane (2) and Jack Fagan put us three ahead but it was all square again in the 20th minute when Ballyduff Upper goaled. An exchange of points involving John Mullane was followed by five in a row from Shane Ryan including two from play before a late Ballyduff Upper point saw us lead 0-13 to 1-6 at the interval. Ballyduff Upper opened the second half scoring but we then added three in a row from Eddie Meaney and Shane Ryan (2) to make it 0-16 to 1-7 after six minutes. We then lost Kevin Moran to injury which saw the introduction of Shane McNulty. Ballyduff Upper pointed in the 8th minute but Shane Ryan and Jack Fagan replied. Ballyduff Upper then pointed twice but again we replied with points from Dylan Foley and Eoin Madigan to make it 0-20 to 1-10 after eighteen minutes. We then went ten minutes without scoring in a period where Ballyduff Upper pointed twice before an excellent point from Dylan Foley ended our drought. Ballyduff Upper closed the scoring in the 30th minute as we emerged deserving winners.

Scorers: Shane Ryan 0-8 (0-5 frees), John Mullane 0-4, Jack Fagan 0-3, Eddie Meaney and Dylan Foley 0-2 each, Kevin Moran (free) and Eoin Madigan 0-1 each.

Panel: Shaun O’Brien, Paddy Kennedy, Ian Flynn, Michael Doherty, Stephen Dalton, Kevin Moran, Tom Moran, Eddie Barrett (captain), David Greene, Jack Fagan, Dylan Foley, Eoin Madigan, Shane Ryan, John Mullane, Eddie Meaney, Shane McNulty, Adam Farrell, Kyle Sinnott, Mikey Costigan, Kenneth Byrne, Thomas Kearney, Brian Cunningham, Gavin Coppinger, Adam Doyle, Lee Wall, Michael Roche, Ryan Duke, Thomas Douglas, Donal Carey, Jake Dillon, Stephen Daniels.

• County U-16 Division 2 Football Championship

We played Naomh Brid in the U-16 football championship last Thursday and came away with a 3-5 to 1-4 win after a very difficult game. They started the best and opened the scoring with a point. We scored a couple of fortunate goals and added a few points to lead 2-3 to 0-3 at halftime. We played against the wind in the second half and an early goal from Harry Lawton made our task easier. Our opponents never gave up and were rewarded with a fine goal at the end

Scorers: Harry Lawton 2-1, Darren Kenneally 1-0, Niall O’Keeffe 0-2, Lorcan Kerry and Dean Casey 0-1 each.

Panel: Sean Treacy, Aaron Wymberry, Shane O’Neill, Daire O’Keeffe, Niall O’Keeffe, Dean Casey, Conor Walsh, Harry Lawton, Darren Kenneally, Lorcan Kerry, Neil Madigan, Conor Murphy, Rueben O’Halloran, Eamonn Brosnan, Alex Keane, Nathan Finn, Josh Kelly, Daire Treacy.

• County U-16 Division 2 Football Championship

Our U-16 football team had mixed fortunes in the past week. We were beaten by an excellent Dungarvan side on Monday last on a score of 4-11 to 3-3. This was a game where our lads put in a tremendous effort but in the end were beaten by the better side. On Friday we got a walkover from Clann na Gael

On Sunday morning we played Cois Bride in Cleaboy and won on a score of 2-13 to 2-8. This was a very good game contributed in a large part to our excellent opponents. We led at halftime by five points 1-6 to 1-1 with our goal coming from Conor Walsh. We started the second half against the wind and arguably the defining score of the match came shortly after the break when Niall O’Keeffe goaled after a tremendous run. The rest of the game was excellent as both sides exchanged points. We went seven ahead before our opponents goaled to set up an exciting finish. However a further point by us saw us win by five. This was an excellent game between two sporting sides.

Scorers: Niall O’Keeffe 1-5, Conor Walsh 1-0, Lorcan Kerry 0-3, Harry Lawton 0-2, Alex Keane, Conor Murphy and Eamonn Brosnan 0-1 each.

Panel: Sean Treacy. Aaron Wymberry, Shane O’Neill, Daire O’Keeffe, Niall O’Keeffe, Dean Casey, Conor Walsh, Harry Lawton, Darren Kenneally, Lorcan Kerry, Neil Madigan, Conor Murphy, Rueben O’Halloran, Eamonn Brosnan, Alex Keane, Nathan Finn, Josh Kelly, Daire Treacy.

• County Minor Football Championship

We began our Minor football championship season with a trip to Rathgormack on a very wet and windy morning on Sunday last.  With a lot of rain falling over the previous few days the pitch was very heavy and with a gale of wind blowing directly into one end of the pitch we knew it was going to be a game of two halves.

We won the toss and elected to play against the elements and after five minutes we opened the scoring admittedly against the run of play with a well taken goal by debutant Dan Lye. Unfortunately from then on Rathgormack slowly began to get to grips with the game and after some stout defending we came in at half time with a mountain to climb in the second half.

Having lost both Flynn’s, Luke and Sam before the short whistle our task grew even more challenging but to be fair to the players they never gave up and fought gallantly right to the end and great credit is due for their efforts.  Best on the day were Seán Carton, Dan Casey, Donal Carey, Eoin Treacy and Ciaran Corrigan as well as Kevin Hennessy who scored some good points from free kicks.

Up next on Sunday 12th March are Ballinacourty in Gracedieu @ 11.30am.  Please come along and support our first adult team involved in championship this season.

Panel: Donal Carey, Seán O’Keefe, Seán Carton, Seán Connolly, Sam Flynn, Conor Giles Doran, Ciarán Corrigan, Peter Grogan, Luke Flynn, Dylan Finn, Kevin Hennessy, Dan Casey, Stephen Power, Eoin Treacy, Dan Lye, Liam Coad, Colm Maher, Lorcan Dwyer-Sheridan.
