U12 hurling Division 2
Craobh Chiarian 3-8 Lucan Sarsfields 5-6

For the second league game in a row , Lucan Sarsfields U12A hurlers ventured out on a Monday evening for a rearranged fixture. The opposition on this occasion being Craobh Chiarian. The game was played in Maypark Donnycarney.

Starting with a slightly depleted squad of 14,  due to injury and illness, Lucan started the game slowly giving away an early point to Craobh after 2 minutes. For  the second game in a row , the back line of James Finn, Cillian Morrissey , Aidan Sheary , Adam Gilmore and Neil O'Leary were under constant pressure due to the long puckouts from the Chiarains keeper. Despite not playing anywhere near their best , Lucan stuck in there with solid work from Brendan Kavanagh, Cian Canavan, Hugh Cuffe, Louis Butler and Adam Whyte , and eventually went in at half time a point down (3-6 to 4-2) , primarily through goals from Sean Harkness and Michael Young .

The 2nd half began with Michael Young moving to Midfield and Matthew Coogan stamping his control at centre back having come on for an injured Aidan Sheary . The revitalised Lucan with James Ryan taking control of the square and stamping out a number of Chroabh attacks and overall held the previously accurate Chroabh forwards to only two points in the second half. In answer , Lucan dominated the second half , scoring 1-4 and running out 4 point winner's . Tougher tests lay ahead for this team , but despite not playing to their full potential they are currently sitting on top of Div 2 after two games.

Team: James Ryan , Aidan Sheary, James Finn, Cillian Morrissey, Neil O'Leary, Adam Gilmore, Brendan Kavanagh, Cillian Canavan, Hugh Cuffe, Adam Whyte, Louis Butler, Sean Harkness , Michael Young , Matthew Coogan.
