Seniors clinch semi-final place
At a sun-drenched Bellefield on Sunday last, our Senior
team qualified for their first semi-final in 3 years,
where they will meet Kilanerin or Castletown, following
their hard fought victory over HWH-Bunclody on a 2-9 to
1-7 scoreline..
This was a performance full of guts and determination
that was all the more exceptional considering that we
had to play with 14 men for 35 minutes in energy sapping
heat following the dismissal of Jason Murphy just before
half-time. 'Chicken' O'Leary with 2 goals and Philly Cullen
with 6 points, 5 from play, where the main scorers on
the day but towering performances by Enda Whelan, Kieran
Kelly, Niall Sheil and Emmet Keeling ensured that any
Bunclody fightback was doomed to failure.
We now face our biggest challange against either the
current County champions or their North Wexford neighbours
but there is every reason to believe that this team can
once again rise to the occasion and take us to our first
County final in 11 years
Team: James Roice; Brendan Mulligan, Paul Harrington,
Enda Whelan; David Gannon, Mikey Hanrahan, Niall Shiel;
John Harrington, Kieran Kelly; Donnacha Doyle, Barry Goff,
Emmet Keeling; Jason Murphy, Ciaran O'Leary, Philly Cullen.
