GOOD WIN FOR FE-13 HURLERS. INNISCARRA 3 - 7 . ST CATHERINES 0 - 3.

At Ballyanly on Thursday evening, Inniscarra had a very good victory over St. Catherines in the Rebel Og East Fe -13 Hurling League. Inniscarra made a very good start and were unlucky not to score first when a clearance from defence by Sean Naughton to Joseph Enright and on to Peter Dunne struck the base of the upright and was cleared by the defence. St. Catherines then had their best spell of the game but found goalkeeper Brian Lowney in superb form and he made his first of many top class saves. St. Catherines scored the first point but gradually Inniscarra got on top of their game. A long clearance from defence by Sean McLoughlin found Se O'Donoghue who transferred the sliotar to the hard running Peter Dunne and he in turn found Joe Enright who scored Inniscarra first point. Se O'Donoghue scored the next point after a very good run. A fantastic catch and clearance by Conrad Desmond from defence was picked up by Ronan Steele but his shot on goal was blocked and Scott McElroy was on hand to finish the ball to the net for Inniscarra first goal. The move of the match followed when corner back Aaron O'Donovan cleared a great ball to Sean Naughton and his delivery to the forwards was intercepted by the opposition defence. A well-timed hook by the impressive Conor O'Riordan resulted in Charlie Harkin gaining possession and he picked out Scott McElroy whose shot was saved but Se O'Donoghue pointed the resultant clearance. A brilliant point by the hard working John Cussen left the half time score INNISCARRA 1 - 4. ST.CATHERINES 0 - 3.

Inniscarra were well in control in the second half and two early points by John Cussen and Joe Enright kept the scoreboard ticking over. Good defensive play by corner back Paddy O'Herlihy led to a very good clearance to Peter Dunne who ran at the defence but his shot was caught by the goalkeeper who in turn was disposed by the excellent John Cussen and he finished the ball to the net. Any attempt by St.Catherines to get back in the game was propelled by the powerful defensive display of full back Mark Linehan and many excellent saves by Brian Lowney. Another goal by John Cussen and a point by Joe Enright completed the scoring. Final Score INNISCARRA 3–7 ST.CATHERINES 0-3.
