Hurling 11 A-SIDE 06/07

The year didn’t start as well as we had hoped. We lost our opening match against Killimor. The score for that match was 4-7 to 4-8. The goals coming from Cormac Dillon.
We then bounced back by well beating Lisheenkyle. The score was 6-10 to 0-3. The goals coming from Cormac Dillon, Shane Caulfield, Luke Uniacke and Ronan Fahy.
Our last group match was against New Inn who beat us in the County final last year so we were out for revenge!!! It was a close match but we managed to beat them by two points. The score was 2-10 to 2-8. Orla McGrath (New Inn) played outstanding but it still wasn’t good enough to beat Carrabane!!
The result was Carrabane and Killimor advanced to the semi-finals. Carrabane played Cappatagle and Coolarne played Killimor. Cololarne winning that match.
Carrabane with home advantaged well beat Cappatagle. The score was 5-11 to 2-6.
We are now in the final against Coolarne on Monday the 25th in Craughwell.
The 25th is over and we came out on top by yet again another very close game! It was an exciting game. We started off with yet another great start, scoring 2goals and a point to no score in the first 8 minutes. Goals coming from Cormac Dillon and Ronan Fahy. Then Coolarne came back and scored 1-3.At half time the sides went in at a score line of 2-5 to 1-4. Straight after the break Coolarne dropped a free in the box and the ball was pulled on by a Coolarne full forward into the back of the net. With 5 minutes to go the score was 2-8 to 2-6. Coolarne went on the attack in the dying moments and their midfielder soloed through our defence and kicked the ball over the bar. Ronan Fahy took the puck out but yet again Coolarne got possession and went on the attack but a miss hit ball fell into the hand of Shane Caulfield and he drove the ball into the air. The full time whistle was blown. Carrabane are now the 11-a-side School’s County Champion’s!!
