Juvenile GAA

Bruree U13 Hurling versus Granagh-Ballingarry in Bruree on Wednesday, 13th July

Our U13 Hurlers played Granagh-Ballingarry in the latest round of this competition in the local field. From the beginning it was evident that the few weeks without competitive hurling had taken its toll with our rustiness very evident. We struggled to get our first touch going and while we did start to dominate the game our sharpness wasn’t there. Gradually through the first half we came to grips with the game and good score taking from Sean Quirke and Tommy Cronnollywas a feature of the half. Some changes were made at half time and our subs all performed very well when given the opportunity. Cathal Barrington scored a fine goal off his left side and this, along with a well taken opportunist goal by Eoin O’ Driscoll, were some of the highlights of the second half. Jonathan Fitzpatrick had a fine game at corner back as did Jack Murphy whose close marking and tenaciousness ensured Bruree’s goal was rarely in danger.
