U21 South semi final Vs Slieverue 9th Nov 2013
The Dunnamaggin U21 hurlers reached the South final on Saturday after they defeated Slieverue on a score line of 2-9 to 0-7 in Mooncoin. Dunnamaggin got off to the perfect start when Anthony Kearney fielded a high ball and found the back of the net. Andrew Fitzpatrick added a point nearly straight away as the rain continued to fall and make conditions very difficult for players on both sides. Both sides were guilty of wides from play and frees over the next period of play. The Dunnamaggin half back line of Aaron Doherty, William Phelan and Paul Kirwan were starting to impose themselves on the game and the strong midfield of Andrew Fitzpatrick and Michael Cody were running freely. Andrew pointed again which was followed up by a well taken point from Anthony Kearney after it was worked all the way up the field. Slieverue finally got on the scoreboard as the game headed to the half time mark. Slieverue added another two points from frees to leave just the goal between the teams at half time. Dunnamaggin 1-3, Slieverue 0-3.
Slieverue opened the second half with real intent pointing immediately from the throw in and then pointing from a free to leave the minimum between the teams. William Phelan then restored the advantage with two pointed frees. Ray Cody came on for John Fitzpatrick and Michael Costello came on for Paddy Delaney. Slieverue pointed from play but Anthony replied straight away replied with one of his own from play. Then came the score that put the game beyond doubt when Willie Bergin followed up ball that seemed to be going wide and worked it back across to the goal only for it to be eventually finished to the net by Ray Cody. Slieverue did respond immediately with a point but it was to be their last score. William Phelan pointed again from a free before Willie Bergin had the final score of the game when he finished off a good move from the ever running Ronan Coffey. Dunnamaggin 2-9 Slieverue 0-7.
