Saint Marys College 3 – 14

Calasanctius College Oranmore     4 – 09

Last Thursday 5^th Nov the Junior Hurlers faced up to Oranmore in the Championship with the game played in Castlegar. On a perfect day for hurling and on a pitch in pristine condition both sides served up a treat.

Marys played with the advantage of a slight wind in the first half but were rocked early on by two great goals by a lively Oranmore forward line.  Marys settled more as the half progressed and at half time trailed by four points on a scoreline of Marys 1-06 Oranmore 2- 07.

A big effort was required and our hurlers duly set about eating into the lead. With Eoin Molloy hurling well at centre forward and John O Halloran beginning to dictate proceedings in the middle of the park Marys forward were getting a good supply of ball and it wasn’t long before John Elwood scored his two goals. It was nip and tuck from there on with Marys having to be at their very best to win. This was a pleasing display and hopefully a sign of things to come.

St. Marys: Alan Murtagh, Shane Walsh, Shane Codyre, Joe Healy, Eoin Molloy, Kevin Derrane, Shane Sheridan, Ronan Higgins, Colm Kirrane, Padraig Casserly, John Elwood, Tommy O’Connor, Colin McDonagh, Alan Kelly, Daniel Kerr, Harry Goulding, John O’Halloran, John Pio Brown, Padraig Connolly, Cormac O’Laoi.
