Minor Hurling
The Dunnamaggin Minor hurlers took on league leaders Castlecomer in Dunnamaggin in their league on Sunday evening last. Morgan Thomas (2) and Nicky O’Shea traded points with their opponents in the opening minutes before Victor Costello pointed from play to nudge Dunnamaggin in front by two. Then came a great period for Dunnamaggin. Dara Keane made a great run forward only to ship it to Roy Cullen who put it past the advancing keeper. Victor added a point. Eddie Dunne got in on the action with a point after great work from Victor and Roy in the lead up. Morgan continued his accuracy with the placed ball before Comer responded with a point. Roy Cullen quickly cancelled this out with another goal after great build up play by the forwards. Morgan added another free before Comer got another point on the scoreboard from play. They followed this up with a well taken goal. However the Dunnamaggin lads were not going to let them have the last score of the half and after an excellent sniping run from Dara he gave an excellent hand pass to Roy who easily completed his hat trick. Half time Dunnamaggin 3:08 Castlecomer 1:04
Comer playing now with a slight breeze opened the second half with a good point but that was to be their last score for 15 mins as the Dunnamaggin backs started to really impose themselves on the game being led by Ian Walsh at centre back flanked by Alex Moore and Brian Farrell. Harry Walsh continued to give a very assured display in goal and with the length of his puck outs. Morgan added two more frees before Victor added two points from play one of which was a cracking score from long range. Castlecomer did add further points but the Dunnamaggin lads were showing a greater hunger and Team play in all areas of the pitch to run out winners. Full time Dunnamaggin 3:14 Castlecomer 1:10
