Bruree U13 Hurling versus Kilteely-Dromkeen in Bruree on Wednesday May 4.
Score : Bruree 4-9 points, Kilteely-Dromkeen 0-4
Our Under 13 hurlers continued their impressive run of form on Wednesday evening last against Kilteely-Dromkeen. The first half of this game was very competitive and Bruree struggled to get into their stride against a determined Kilteely outfit. At half time Bruree led by four points to two, however on the resumption, Bruree upped their collective performance and started to dominate their exchanges around the field. Shane Hannon was making life difficult for the Kilteely defence at full forward and scored a great goal to settle Bruree’s nerves. From that point onwards Bruree really grew in confidence.
A highlight of the game was the first touch displayed and the great teamwork which is a hallmark of this team this year. Daire O’ Driscoll was earmarked to do a man marking job in the second half and he put in an excellent performance when he moved to midfield. Edward Moore really came into his own in the half back line during the second half. Brian McCarthy, who was introduced in the second half, marked his first game at this age group with a well taken goal. David O’ Connell again dominated at full back. Tommy Cronnolly and Gearoid McCarthy covered every blade of grass and linked the play very well. Sean Quirke showed some great form from placed balls and was a constant threat in front of goal. The goalkeeping duties were ably shared between Jonathan Fitzpatrick and Ciaran Sexton. Brian Sexton worked very hard throughout at half back with Jack Murphy backing him up in the corner. Cathal Barrington again continues to show great touches at corner forward.
We will be playing Kilteely/Dromkeen again, this time in football, in our next game on May 18.
