Rasharkin fall at final hurdle
St. Mary’s Rasharkin bowed out in the final of
this year’s Junior hurling championship to a spirited Con Magees side at
Loughgiel Saturday past. The Dreen men failed to reproduce the scintillating
form demonstrated against St.Teresa’s and Shane O’Neill’s Glenarm in earlier
rounds which secured their passage to the decider.
The Glensmen got off to the best possible start
with wind advantage and had the sliothar in the back of St.Mary’s net after
only four minutes, a very fortuitous goal which proved to be the vital score at
the end of seventy minutes. Declan McKay pulled arrears to the minimum from two
converted frees before Glenravel’s talisman Niall Donnelly restored a healthy
lead midway through the half. Rasharkin tried hard but simply couldn’t find
their stride until the closing five minutes of the half when they pulled the
tie all square thanks to points from
Glenravel turned around at the interval and
wasted no time pushing in front once more through two pointed frees from
Donnelly inside the first four minutes. St.Mary’s responded again with
impressive efforts from James Scally and Declan McKay. However, Con Magees
turned the screw midway through the half from the stick of Niall Donnelly who
pointed a further five second half frees (a total of nine). Rasharkin grabbed
conciliation points from Daniel Hasson and Conor McKeever in the closing stages
but Glenravel held on to run out three point winners on a scoreline 1-12 to
0-12.
St.Mary’s Rasharkin: James O’Mullan, Donagh
Quigg, Joey Quinn, Paul McMullan, Daniel Doherty, Shane Hasson, Conor Donaghy,
Brendan McMullan and Thomas McMullan, Eamon McNeill, Conor Hasson, Aidan
Darragh, Declan McKay, Conor McKeever, James Scally
Subs: Daniel McKay, Conor McFerran, Daniel
Hasson and Kevin Agnew
Commiserations to St.Mary’s players and
management who gave a terrific account of themselves throughout the
Championship with memorable displays which will stand them in good stead to
arise, dust down and get back next season to finish the job.
A massive thanks must go to the many supporters
who’ve turned out in great numbers to get behind the boys all season.
