Morey Movement Hurling League Div 4 Semi Final
Sunday the 22nd of June
Clooney-Quin 0-14
Broadford 1-14
Venue: Clooney
This was an extremely physical contest from the outset on this Sunday evening. The weather conditions were to be respected as it was a strong, blustery wind blowing down towards the newly renovated Clooney-Quin clubhouse.
Broadford trailed early on 0-1 to 0-3 as Clooney’s number 11 with the wind at his back took the early initiative with two well taken scores. This was to be the last time that Clooney would lead as Broadford upped the physicality against the breeze and worked like trojans around the field.
With super scores from,” Sparky” Whelan 0-3 and Paul Moloney 0-2, we led at half time 0-9 to 0-7.
With the aid of the elements in the second half Broadford only upped the workrate even more and were rewarded with a scrappy goal from John Moran who pulled on a ball outside the square and evaded the goalkeeper to push Broadford’s lead out to 6.
With Clooney pushing vehemently to break the Broadford rearguard, our defence stood strong.
On the evening, we had lots of good performers from Dan Green, Sam Cooper , James Gunning and James Tuite. Up front “Sparky” Whelan was to the fore with a high energy workrate from all his teammates.
This victory gives us the opportunity of competing in a league final against Ballyea, a team who has defeated us earlier in the campaign.
The very same weekend will be special as Broadford junior B’s will compete in their own league final against Eire Og. Makes for an exciting and nerve wracking weekend. B
