Tynagh - Abbey / Duniry 0-14
Gort went down to a 2 point defeat against Tynagh - Abbey / Duniry in this second round game of the Junior B Hurling Championship played in Castledaly on Friday night last. Following on from the first round win against Kinvara, hopes were high that another win could be achieved.
Gort lined out with a couple of changes from the first game. Most notable was the positioning of Trevor Ryan in goal, with John Connors moved to full-forward. Dara Roche also lined out with the junior team for the first time this year following completion of his leaving cert. exams.
Scoring was very tight in the opening stages of this game and after 20 minutes the scoreline read 2 points to 1 in favour of Tynagh - Abbey / Duniry. Then in the last 10 minutes of the half there was a burst of scores from both sides meaning they went in level at half time on a scoreline of 5 points apiece. Gorts scores in this half came from David Cummins (2), John Connors (1) and 2 frees from Liam Forde.
Tynagh started the second half very strongly and got themselves into a 4 point lead before Gort started to fight back strongly in the last 10 minutes.Points from Peter Howley, Francis O'Connor & a super effort 45 yards out off his left from over near the sideline from substitute Kieran "Teak" Burke meant that with time almost up there was just 1 point in it. Unfortunately however, Tynagh - Abbey / Duniry got the last score of the game and finished up 2 point winners.
Overall, Gort should be well pleased with this performance and considering this was our third team lining out against Tynagh - Abbey / Dunirys second team they should take a lot of heart from this performance.
Gort:- T. Ryan, C. Collins, P. Connolly, C. Flaherty, G. Nolan, P. Loughnane, C. Greaney, D. Roche, P. Loughnane, F. O'Connor (0-2), P. Howley (0-1), S. Melville, L. Forde (0-5, 0-4f), J. Connors (0-1), D. Cummins (0-2). Subs:- K. Burke (0-1) for S. Melville, R. Cahill, C. Nolan.
