U14 Hurling Semi-Final Win

Crecora Manister              2-11

ABK                                        2-08

Crecora Manister U14 hurlers had a thrilling win V ABK Desmonds on Sunday morning played at Old Christians GAA club which was in pristine condition. This win puts us through to the County Final which will be played the weekend of Sat 20th or Sun 21st September.

We played with the aid of a strong wind in the first half and started the game very well and got early scores on the board from Conor Hickey, Fionn Kennedy and an excellent goal from Seán Hickey. ABK came back at us and threatened our goal on a few occasions but we kept them out thanks to some great defence from Lewis O’Mahony, Shane Holmes, Niall Mulqueen and Will Shea in goals who had an outstanding performance on the day. A superb score from distance from an inform Tommy Keyes and a goal from the ever-present Conor Hickey after a well worked pass from Mark Travers saw us go in at half time 2-08 to 0-04 ahead.

The second half saw ABK throw everything at us and with 10mins to go they were awarded a penalty which they duly converted which left the bare minimum between the sides. It was heart in mouth stuff but we finished the game stronger to win on a final score line of 2-11 to 2-08 putting us through to a county final V Southside Gaels who beat Knockainey on a scoreline of 8-08 to 1-05

Team: Will Shea; Shane Holmes; Lewis O’Mahony; Thomas O’Mahony; Scott Fitzgerald; Tommy Keyes(0-01); Niall Mulqueen; Fionn Kennedy(0-02); Conor Browne; Sean Cobbe; Conor Hickey(1-08); Adam McKinley; Seán Hickey(1-00); Aidan Hartnett; Mark Travers; Luke Kennedy; Cillian O’Mahony; Adam O’Brien; Daragh Ryan(Inj); Alex Barry(Inj)

U12 Hurling Blitz

Congratulations to our U12 hurlers who valiantly came away with silverware today in the Vincent & Richard Phelan memorial tournament held in St Patrick’s GAA grounds. With 6 teams competing we started with a tough battle beating Claughaun. In our second game we faced Broadford/Bodyke where we played some tremendous hurling ending up victorious. On the other side St Patricks came through against Smith O Briens & Newcastle West.

This led to an exciting cup final which didn’t disappoint. A last minute point was needed to draw which meant extra time. In extra time we started very well getting the 1st two scores. St Patricks found the net with a goal and we were two down with time almost up but all the lads dug deep showing tremendous character to get the last two scores resulting in an epic draw. Final score St Patricks 4-8 South Liberties Crecora 3-11

Common sense prevailed and the Cup was shared. Well done to All.👏

U10 Hurling Blitz

Our U10 had a very competitive U10 hurling blitz v’s Cappamore in Crecora on last Friday evening. The boys played some of the best hurling that they have played all year & in some very entertaining games. We have U10 football blitz in Mungret on next Fri evening, 12th Sept. Well done to all coaches and players involved.

Match Report – Intermediate Footballers

Crecora Manister 0-09

Galbally 3-18

We had a tough night out last Friday against Galbally who started the game very fast with some good early scores but in fairness to the lads they rallied well to put 7 points on the board with 2 excellent 2 pointers from Richard and went in at the break 5 points down . Unfortunately we could only manage 2 more scores in the second half while Galbally turned the screw on us with some clinical scores. The scoreline does not reflect the effort our lads put in to a man right to the end. Best wishes to Galbally for the remainder of the campaign. There are 2 rounds of hurling before our next outing against St Senan’s in round 3. We will re-group and go again.

Match Report – Junior A Premier

Crecora Manister          1:17

Tournafulla                   1:18

The second round of the Premier Junior Hurling championship was played on Sunday and we were in action against Tournafulla at the Feenagh Kilmeedy grounds. We were hoping to build on the point we gained in the first round. The previous encounter between the sides resulted in a one point win for us so we knew it would be a close game and so it proved. 

There was very little between the sides in the first half as the teams traded points. We had 5 different players on the scoresheet in the first half with scores from Jack Dalton, Richard Murphy, Conor Kirby, Cathal O’Neill and Edwin Wixted giving us a slim half time lead on a scoreline of 0-8 to 0-7. We were unfortunate to lose Rory Hannan through injury just on HT whistle. Tournafulla turned the deficit over early in the second half and went on to dominate for a spell. They added a goal to stretch their lead to 8 points. At that point our lads dug deep and started to move the ball with greater urgency. Points from Cathal,  the recently introduced Niall Conheady and Richard edged us slowly but surely back into the game. The introduction of fresh legs in Niall and Oisin O’Byrne also contributed as we brought the game back level with a cleverly worked goal from Richard when he gathered a cross field ball and skipped past the defence to plant the ball in the net. There was an exchange of points again with Edwin adding a vital score as both teams looked for the decisive score. Chances came at both ends but it was Tournafulla who added the final score. The final whistle sounded soon after. This was a cruel finish for the team who had given so much and recovered from a very difficult position to put themselves in contention to win the game. They have a break now for football championship and will be back in Feenagh in 2 weeks time to face Monagea in the 3rd Round. Squad Ger Kennedy, Rory Hannan, Colm Parnell, Tim Moloney, David Rickard, Thomas Shanahan, James Conheady, Conor Kirby Cathal O’Neill, Mark Shanahan, Jack Dalton, Edwin Wixted, Richard Murphy, Padraig Byrnes, Rian O’Byrne, Sean Keyes, Ned O’Meara, Niall Conheady, Oisin O’Byrne, Ciaran Cusack, Damien Kearney, Mark O’Keefe, Ciaran Humphreys.
