Minor B County Final
The Dunnamaggin Minor Hurlers contested the Roinn B County Final in a bright and breezy Nowlan Park on Saturday afternoon last against neighbours Danesfort. Dunnamaggin went into the game as reigning champions and were hoping to achieve their third Roinn B title in four years. Danesfort were hoping to win their first Roinn B title. It was Danesfort who dominated the early exchanges out scoring Dunnamaggin 4 point to 1, the point coming from Captain Ruadhiri Holden from play. Dunnamaggin settled and two further points from Ruadhiri from the placed ball and points from Cathal Buckley and Noah Gilmore brought the Dunnamaggin lads right back into this game and the side were level at 5 points each at the first water break. Dunnamaggin dominated the second quarter and although Joe Fitzpatrick was carrying an injury into the game from the semifinal himself and Cathal Buckley were causing the Danesfort backs problems. The domination however only added two point to the scoreboard from Ruadhiri one play and one placed ball as the Dunnamaggin wides were starting to creep up. There was only one point in it at the turn around Dunnamaggin 0:7 Danesfort 0:6.
Danesfort made some positional changes at half time and they paid immediate return when they scored 3 quick point to put them into a two-point lead. The Dunnamaggin men were not about to lie down. Ruadhiri pointed another free before Dunnamaggin scored the only goal of the game. Aaron Moore gathered a high ball inside his own half and headed route one down the park on a solo run, he managed to draw the Danesfort defenders and deliver in the perfect ball to Cathal Buckley who made no mistake. Dunnamaggin won the resultant puck out and Tom Lodge converted. Danesfort were applying serious pressure to the Dunnamaggin backs and but for some heroic defending and super goal keeping from Thomas Deegan they could have crossed the whitewash. Danesfort did respond with a free to put the score Dunnamaggin 1:09 Danesfort 0:10 at the water break. If Dunnamaggin had owned the second quarter Danesfort owned the last. They immediately leveled the game with two points but Ruadhiri was accurate from the placed ball to keep his team in front. It was Danesfort however finished the game the strongest and put over five unanswered points as we headed for the final whistle and give them their first Roinn B title. Full time Dunnamaggin 1:10 Danesfort 0:17. A super effort from the Dunnamaggin management and panel to reach their second final in two years and they fought heroically throughout.
