Hurlers advance with draw in Hurling Championship
On Sunday we played Ballygiblin in the first time at this grade. With expectation high of a good local derby it didn’t disappoint in terms of how it ebbed and flowed. Kildorrery got off the mark with a Dave Kelly point and ball giblin responded over the next five minutes with two until James mceniry capitalised on some fumbling with the box to score a goal. Ballygiblin came back with the next five points in a row as they seemed to capitalise on the extra space being afforded to them and the gentle breeze. Peter responded with two points per frees and ballygiblin similarly responded in kind with two more from play. An exchange of two more per team again with ours coming from Luke and peter meant that at half time we trailed a Goal and five to thirteen points. We know with the BreaK would also bring the opportunity to redress the balance and that we did by registering eight points on the trot. Per Dave Kelly opening the half like the first and then peter and dylan with james and Peter keeping the score board ticking over and it was until the 23rd minute of the second half before Ballygiblin had registered a score and significantly enough we had five wides in this period also. Ballygiblin tended to be on top for a five-minute spell which led them back to a draw as we had a chance to convert a free which would have brought us four points ahead. Alas that was not meant to be and we played out a draw. Again, this encounter would give us food for thought and help us understand a little more about ourselves and closing out but at the end of half time we probably would have settled for a point. The final score of goal sixteen to nineteen points was how it finished on the night. (See Paddy ryan report also)
