Weather doesn't deter U11 hurlers
23 February, 2013
In very cold conditions Bray Emmets Under-11 Hurlers got
their Dublin League campaign off to a winning start against St.
Judes.
Following on from their fine display last week against
Faughs, the team started really well and were dominant all over the
pitch. The midfield of Sam Kearney and Sebastain Coleman were
winning a lot of ball and feeding the forward line of Eoin Holmes,
Ben Gorman, Brian Nesbitt and Cathal Eddy, causing all sort of
problems for the St. Judes backline. Cathal was in inspired form in
the first half scoring 3 goals with other scores coming from Brian,
Sam and Sebastian. The best score was Sam's point which was scored
from a 65.
With dominance up front the backline of Aaron O'Rourke,
Philip Jakob, Tadhg McCarthy and Rory Mulcahy didn't have a lot to
do but did it very well when they had to. Again the midfield and
half forward were very fortunate to have laser like puck outs from
Zack Collins to keep the pressure on the St Judes
team.
It was always going to be difficult to keep a team like St
Judes at bay for the whole game and some changes on their team
resulted in a much improved performance. With the introduction of
Hannah Surples, Ciaran Mangan, Daniel Munro, Riain MacMaolin and
Aodain Daly, Bray continued their hard work with Hannah and Tadhg
scoring to keep us well on top.
In a very cold day for hurling, this was a great start to the
year and hopfully bodes well for the season, however the main
emphasis is to keep improving and enjoying the game (hopefully in
warmer weather).
