Result: 3 20 to 1 08
Our Senior B hurling team maintained their 100% league record in Division 3 with a comprehensive victory over St Pats of Palmerstown .
Perhaps as a result of our championship victory during the week, the team were slow “getting off the blocks” and after 20 minutes of play, both teams were level on the scoreboard . However a well taken goal by Matt Weldon (man of the match performance) settled our team and we went into a half time lead on the score of 1 – 10 to 0 – 6
.
Our defence in the 2nd half played well with quick and effective delivery into the forward line. It was particularly pleasing to see Karl Weldon and Keith McCarron play so well, as both were returning from long term injuries. As a result of quicker delivery to the forward line, our new-comers forwards also back from long term injuries Aaron Coffey and Shane Kennedy really shone and both players got some great scores. It was also a debut start on our team for Andy Hand (promoted from the Junior A panel) and how well Andy did when he was introduced as a substitute. A good solid performance but still there is room for improvement.
