U-14 HURLERS REACH CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL. INNISCARRA 7 - 17, COBH 1 - 7.

At Delanys pitch on Sunday morning Inniscarra had a comfortable victory over Cobh in the P2A Fe-14 Hurling Championship semi-final. Sharpshooter Oisin Morris opened the scoring with a pointed free and followed with a second shortly afterwards following a foul on John Gould. A brilliant point followed from the powerful Colin O'Leary after a long run and beautiful strike. Cobh attacked but were repelled by a good clearance from full-back Sean Leisk who found Sean McCarthy and he got his first point. Brilliant defensive play by the impressive Neil Vaughan found John O'Connell who in turn picked out Stephen Linehan and after a good run he placed the sliotar in the corner of the net for a magnificient goal. A brilliant catch and clearance by Liam O'Connor found Sean McCarthy who was fouled and Oisin duly converted the free. Inniscarra seemed to be coasting at this stage but suddenly Cobh came to life and scored four points and a goal without reply to leave just one point between the sides. A good clearance by James Flannery was caught by Sean Quinlivan who was fouled and Oisin converted the free. Good work by John Gould found Sean McCarthy and he scored his first of four goals.A foul on Jack Walsh led to a free out which Sean Leisk took and found Josh Ambrose who in turn was fouled and Oisin pointed the free. Another pointed free from Oisin and a point from Sean McCarthy completed the first half scoring but a further play resulted in a dubious free for Cobh but a brilliant save by Evin Cunningham cleared the danger.
