Juvenile GAA
U12 Hurling League: Brú Rí 6-6 Granagh-Ballingarry 1- 2 The Under 12 Hurling League resumed on Thursday, September 1st, with Bruree playing Granagh-Ballingarry in a home game. The hosts were on the offensive from the very first moments of the match with three points followed by a goal in the fifth minute from Seán Quirke. A goal some seven minutes later from Brian McCarthy put Bruree firmly in the lead, and an additional point just before the half-time whistle gave the home team a score of 2-4 at this point while the visitors had not yet scored.
The second half got off to a slow start, though Granagh-Ballingarry started to fight back by getting a goal in the opening minutes: this was answered by a point from Seán Quirke. There followed a period of intense play with both sides battling for possession: Granagh-Ballingarry wrested two points from this struggle. Towards the end of the match Bruree surged ahead again, with Brian McCarthy and Sam Cronnolly getting two goals each, and Gearóid McCarthy putting over a point for good measure. The final score was Bruree 6-6 and Granagh-Ballingarry 1-2.
The Under 12 panel continued to perform well in this match, with great teamwork and co-ordination between the players. The defence work by Emma Howard, Emma Hogan and David O’Connell played an important role in Bruree’s success, while goalkeeper Jimmy Leslie-Madigan made some great saves. It must be said however that Bruree’s skill and determination was to the fore in every position on the field. Well done to everyone and keep up the good work!
