U8/U10 Hurling

At a sweltering Ransboro on the U8/10's played their first match of the season against Easkey. The match was significant in that Jack McDaniel made his debut as a referee and did an excellent job controlling the match. It also saw Cillian Hynes, Eoghan Rooney, Tom McDaniel, Matt Conlon and Cillian Corkery play their first hurling match too, with each of the boys contributing to a well deserved win. After withstanding some early pressure in the first quarter, two scores from midfielder Patrick Tuffy settled the team, The second quarter saw the boys race into a 4 -0 lead with 2 more points from Patrick who was helped by some good midfield work by Diarmuid Whelan. Easkey then got to grips with the game and scored 3 points to leave one score between the sides. James Sheridan made a fine save to keep Coolera in the lead. Tom McDaniel and Cillian Corkery then went close with shots on goal. before Finn McDaniel sent a long clearance into the forwards where Diarmuid Whelan found himself clear to get the final score of the half to see the home side lead 5-3.
After a well-deserved water break, a few changes saw Finn work hard in midfield to set up scores for Patrick and Luke O'Connor while some last ditch tackles by Eoghan and Cillian Hynes aided by the pocket dynamo Matt Conlan managed to keep Easkey to 2 scores. Coolera added 3 scores themselves from Luke, Patrick Tuffy and Finn who scored a fine point from a lovely jab lift and hand pass from Luke. Patrick Healy then replaced Finn in midfield and did a great job defensively to allow Patrick Tuffy launch further sliotars into Cillian Corkery and Tom but the Easkey boys held out to stop goal bound shots. Coolera/Strandhill won by 8 to 5 scores. Well done to all the debutant’s. Training continues at 11.00 a.m. on Saturday in Ransboro.
Team: Patrick Healy, James Sheridan, Finn McDaniel, Patrick Tuffy, Diarmuid Whelan, Cillian Corkery, Luke O'Connor, Tom McDaniel, Eoghan Rooney, Cillian Hynes, Matt Conlon.
