U14 Division 2 Hurling Championship. Aghada 6-15 Douglas (2) 0-5. 31/05/24
We played Douglas in Round 3 on a lovely evening for a match below in Rostellan. Our second game in a week against Douglas and we got the right result again after a very solid performance throughout from our boys. From the start we played some good Hurling moving the sliotar well through the lines. From our half back line through our midfield and into our forwards we put Douglas under a lot of pressure. We got good scores in first half from David, Rían, Dara, Cathal and Conor we lead at half time 5-13 to no score. We made 5 subs at half time and while our scoring dropped in 2nd half our workrate didn’t. A good victory but we have 2 big fixtures to come in this group. Best on the night : Dara, Rian,Cormac, Eoin and David.
Team: Dara Kelleher, Dylan Kearns, Donncha Walsh, Maidhc Collins, Finbar Alcock, Cormac Cashman, James Irwin, Jack Kelleher(0-02), Eoin Kirrane, Conor O’ Reilly(0-01), Dara O’ Brien(1-02), Rían O’ Brien(1-02), Cathal Lowney(1-01), David Murphy(3-05), Bobby O’ Riordan(0-01) subs all used Sam Ahern, Harry Burgoyne(0-01), Marcus O’ Loughlin, Tim O’ Hanlon, Jake O’ Sullivan.
