U11 Hurlling Sat 21st Feb
February 24, 2015
Hurling is back but what an awful day to start 2015âs hurling journey. However the hurling was anything but awful. Our U11s playing 4 teams this year played home against Craobh Chiaran and away to St. Oliver Plunkets Eoghan Ruadh.
At AGP Sars won both games displaying some great interplay and teamwork to overcome a determined Craobh Chiaran side. Both teams scored well from play and were very effective in the tackle and in tight play. Playing in very cold conditions, both Sars teams kept warm by supporting each other in attack and defending well as a unit in defence. Well done to all players: Scott OâSullivan, Conor OâNeill, Conor Hylands, Conor Sheary, Cathal Doody, Joey Dunne, Gareth Kennedy, Jack Behan, Alex Hickey, Adam Duffy, Jack Doyle, Matthew Ryan, Matthew Byrne, Sam Donohoe, Jack Langan, Luke Trunk, Sean Fenlon, Conor King and Niall Carron.
The U11 hurlers also faced St. Oliver Plunketts and for the first time in either code in a very cold a windy Martin Savage Park on Saturday. Despite the poor conditions and despite minimum warm up time for the lads, Sars raced into an early lead with great scores from play, with great support teamwork from the lads. Sars hurled brilliantly at midfield and the defense was been well marshalled with rock solid performances from all concerned. Lucan played superbly in the first half and despite playing against the wind closed out the game in emphatic style conceding only a single point in the 2nd half. An excellent all round team performance from both Sars teams.
