Gort v Kinvara - Senior Hurling League Semi-Final - 24th September 2013

Gort 3-14
Kinvara 2-14

Gort qualified for the final of the 2013 County Senior Hurling League following a hard fought game against neighbours, Kinvara, under lights in Ardrahan this evening. Kinvara started by far the brighter and opened up a 1-05 to 1-02 lead after 20 minutes. The remaining 10 minutes of the half were totally dominated by Kinvara however and they opened up a 9 point lead at the break, leading 2-12 to 1-06. Gort were lucky to not be further behind as a Colm Callinan 21 yard free was saved on the line during the first half.
It would have been easy for Gort to throw in the towel at this point but to the credit of the lads, they decided to give a serious effort in the second half. They went out and upped the performance to a level that Kinvara just could not live with and out-scored them by 2-08 to 0-02 during the second half. To restrict Kinvara to just 2 points in the second half was a serious effort from our backs and they deserve immense credit. However, it was up front that the game was won and both Richard Cummins and Aidan Harte led the way impressively. The final will take place in the coming weeks where we will face the winners of Ardrahan and Portumna.
Gort Team:- Peter Cummins, Niall Forde, Mark McMahon, Andrew Coen, Conor Helebert, Sylvie Og Linnane, Wayne Walsh, Martin Nestor, Aidan Harte, Paul Killilea, Richard Cummins, Albert Mullins, Noel Quinn, Greg Lally, Gerry Quinn. Subs:- Aidan Helebert, Michael Cummins, Brian Quinn
