Under 14 Hurlers Complete Feile Double
From the Official Wexford GAA site
The game opened with plenty of skilful play from Crossabeg’s Alex Sludds and Jack Fortune while Danny Byrne counteracted their efforts. After some Crossabeg dominance, Eamonn O’ Sullivan picked out Lorcan Murphy who set the scoring pace with an elegant point. However, Horeswood soon regained composure to blitz their opponents defence. The dynamism of midfielders Cyril Prendergast and Seán Nolan was exhibited exquisitely as they both pointed before Nolan slotted over three placed balls consecutively. With Crossabeg in a state of shock, Eamonn O’ Sullivan’s free from thirty metres out bounced into the net of Cathal Byrne after eighteen minutes. Crossabeg showed some resurgence before the interval as Oran Maddock responded with a fine point. While the men of green and white did convey some flair, Horeswood used their possession advantageously yielding a half-time score-line of 1-05 to 0-02.
Surprisingly Crossabeg were first to respond after the resumption but Oran McDonald’s pointed free would transpire to be the last scoring chance for the Ballymurn side. The second half was evenly fought out despite the major scoring difference. Lorcan Cummins and Tommy Ring were diligent in defence for the Castlebridge while David Murphy kept Horeswood on top. Nevertheless, Seán Nolan soon blasted the ball over the bar after thirty seven minutes which preceded Myles Dempsey’s cutely netted goal. David Murphy’s major was discounted by referee Jack French because of a foul on Robert Cullen in the fortieth minute. In spite of this, Cyril Prendergast’s point in the final minute heralded a victory for the southern side. Mick Dunne’s side were convincing and deserving of the double as they saw off the Starlights in the football equivalent recently. Seán Nolan led the joyous celebrations as he accepted the trophy from Coiste Na nÓg chairman, Bobby Goff.
HORESWOOD: Patrick Cummins, Seán Hunt, Martin Kinsella, Dean Roberts, Dylan Whitty, Eamonn O’ Sullivan (1-00 free), Evan Lyng, Cyril Prendergast (0-02), Seán Nolan (Captain 0-05, 3 frees), David Murphy, Danny Byrne, Andrew Breen, Adam Night, Emmett Kehoe, Eric Dickinson. SUB’s. Myles Dempsey (1-00) for Dickenson, Jake Dunne for Kent, Will McMackin, Jack Kehoe, Darragh Kent
