KILDORRERY 1-16 BALLYGARVAN 0-06

Last Saturday afternoon, at rain and wind-swept Carrigtwohill, our Under 21B hurlers recorded a well-deserved and convincing victory over Ballygarvan in the Co. Championship semi-final.  The final score was Kildorrery 1-16.  Ballygarvan 0-6. In the opening quarter, Ballygarvan looked to be the slightly better side and by the seventeenth minute had set up a 0-3 to 0-1 lead. However, Kildorrery took a grip on the game and great work by Kildorrery’s defence stymied their opponents’ attacks and set up great scoring chances for our forwards. By the twentieth minute a succession of points from play saw them set up a lead of 0-5 to 0-3 and two Dylan Kent points inside the last five minutes of the half saw them lead 0-7 to 0-3 at the interval.

Inside six minutes of the second half, Cathal Harrington had added 1-1 to the Kildorrery tally and the losers had to wait until the ninth minute for their first score of the second half, from a free and they raised no more flags until the last five minutes of the half when they had two more points, while a rampant Kildorrery side sent over eight points.  A feature of Kildorrery ‘s performance on the day, in contrast to previous games, was that all but four points came from play and from no less than nine individual players.

A terrific performance from this spirited team and tribute to their mentors, who were afforded the luxury of giving some of the subs a run in the second half. We look forward with optimism to the Co. Final against Sarsfields, which has been provisionally fixed for Saturday  November 3rd. at PaircUi Rinn.

KILDORRERY 0-14   FERMOY 1-13

Last Sunday with home advantage, our Junior C hurlers went under disappointingly to Fermoy in the Shreelawn Oil junior C hurling championship by two points. For fifty-eight minutes of this game, Kildorrery led until the point where Fermoy got through for a goal to put them a point ahead. 1-12 to 0-14 and a free deep injury time gave them another point to win on the above score.

Kildorrery played their best hurling in the first half, leading at the end of the first quarter 0-5 to 0-2. But by the interval their lead was down to two,  0-7 to 0-5. The sides exchanged a point in the opening two minutes of the second half and by the end of the third quarter our boys led 0-12 to 0-9. They had added two more points to their tally to Fermoy’s three before the afore-mentioned goal.

Team and scorers:  Dave Roche, Jason Walsh, Will Coffey, Ciaran O’Connor, Fintan Daly, Liam Kelly, Michael Lillis, David Kelly 0-6(0-5fs), Darren McNamara, Shane Landers 0-2, Sean O’Sullivan, James Magnier, Sean Young 0-5 (0-4fs), Liam O’Keeffe, Anthony Palmer.                Subs.
