                                                  Dungarvan 2-16 Fourmilewater 1-14

Played in 22 degrees heat in Cappoquin on Bank holiday Monday last, this junior ‘B’ hurling championship was certainly one of two halves with Dungarvan dominating the first and Fourmilewater the second.

SEAN CROTTY

The Blues led by 2-9 to 0-5 at half time with their goals coming from Joe Duggan and Aidan Kirwan. Sean Crotty was accurate four times from placed balls and others to score included Liam Ryan(2) and Brendan Cullinane.

MARK BOLAND

Though Jordan Ryan opened the scoring for Fournile, they were slow out of the blocks in the first half. Seamus Lawlor and Brian Wall  scored for play for the Ballymac side with Jordan Ryan adding two  pointed frees before the short whistle.

PADDY FERNCOMBE AND JOHNATHON REGAN

The second half belonged to Fourmilewater and Seamus Lawlor in particular. Though Liam Ryan opened the scoring for the Blues, Lawlor scored four minors from play and a sideline cut to leave the scoreboard reading 2-12 to 0-10 at the end of the third quarter.

KEALAN BARRY AND SEAN HYSLOP

Despite further scores by Aidan Kirwan and Sean Crotty, Dungarvan fell completely away in this second half  but Fourmile’s goal per corner forward Ger Peters came too late in the game. Sean Crotty and Rory Rice traded end of game scores as Dungarvan ran out unimpressive winners by 0-5.
