Gort secured their second win of this years minor championship with an 8 point victory over Turloughmore in Athenry on Friday evening. This win puts Gort on 4 points after 3 games played and means that 1 more win from their remaining 3 games should be enough to secure qualification to the quarter final stages.
Gort started with the aid of the breeze and led at half-time by 1-10 to 1-06 with some fine points from Aidan Helebert, Michael Mullins & Jack Cummins. A softly conceded goal for Turloughmore by centre-forward Sean Linnane (son of former Gort hurler, Gerry Linnane) meant there was only 4 points in it at the interval.
Gort came out in the second half however and, despite playing into the wind, started to dominate around the middle of the field and pulled away worthy 8 point winners in the end.
Gort:- J. Flaherty, S. Burke, D. Grealish, G. Corless, R. Burke, D. Roche, C. Finn, M. Mullins, D. O'Donoghue, D. Diskin, A. Helebert, J. Grealish, C. Nolan, C. Broderick, J. Cummins. Subs:- G. Cahill for D. Diskin, T O'Neill for C. Nolan.
