U14 Hurling
Sadly it was not to be the u14 hurlers day on Saturday last when they defeated by a very powerful and physical Padraig Pearses team in the féile semi-final in Athleague. The match was played in perfect conditions and the Gaels had a good start piling on the pressure on the Pearses defence but sadly failing to convert the chances to scores. Pearses responded and notched up a goal and a point in quick succession. However, some ferocious and brave defending, particularly from Jack Fleming, saw the Gaels keep the Pearses attack out. From this the Gaels pushed up and got three great points, 2 from play and one free to bring themselves back into contention. However, Pearses replied with a further 3 points and saw them go in 1-6 to 0-3 up at half time. The second half saw Pearses really ramp the intensity and there was only so much the Gaels defence could keep out. Pearses forwards got the upper hand and scored 3-7 without reply in the second half.
The Feile place for this game was lost to a very strong and skilled Pearses side. However, the lads will regroup and now face a play-off against Athleague/Tremane for the third and final féile place. The game details are TBC this week.
