Dunnamaggin U14 hurlers played Bennettsbridge in the fifth round of their league in a first vs second top of the table clash on Monday night. Bennettsbridge playing with a strong breeze applied pressure on Dunnamaggin from the start and raced into an early lead 1:02 to 0:00 until the 22nd minute when Morgan Thomas opened the score with a well taken point. It was Dunnamaggin’s turn to then apply the pressure and but for two excellent saves from the bridge’s keeper the gap would have been narrower at half time as Bennettsbridge goaled again before the turnaround leaving the scores 2:04 to 0:01 at half time. Dunnamaggin used the wind to their advantage and brought themselves right back into contention with the opening point and further points from Luke Fitzpatrick, Morgan Thomas (2) and Victor Costello who had now moved up the field closing the gap. Bennettsbridge added two more points to help their lead but a well taken goal for Dunnamaggin from Harry Walsh brought the sides within 3pts of each other leaving for a tense closing few minutes. However, it was the Bridge who won out scoring a further goal and point to Dunnamaggin’s one point from Victor Costello to leave the final score 3:08 to 1:07 for Bennettsbridge.
