Hazelwood into limerick Semi-Final
Hazelwood College 3-12
Colaiste Chiarain,Croom 1-9
Hazelwood College had a nine point win over Croom in the Limerick VEC, U/16 Co. quarter finals in Feenagh last Thursday. In a hard fought encounter, Hazelwood just about had the balance of it over the hour. Despite conceding a point almost from the throw in, Hazelwood had the better start scoring two goals inside the opening five minutes both from excellent corner forward Seamus O’ Sullivan. Hazelwood enjoyed an extended spell of dominance adding a further goal through Jimmy o’ Sullivan and five more points, three from Jamie Coughlan frees and one each from John Nix and Jimmy O’Sullivan. The last ten minutes of the first half belonged to croom though rattling in a goal as well as two well taken points to leave seven between them at half time to leave the score 3-5 to 1-3 in favour of Hazelwood. The second half was tit for tat affair with Hazelwood although playing with the breeze not stretching away. Croom continued to pile on the pressure but Hazelwood’s ability to pick off their points, notably Keith Lacey who was on for the last fifteen minutes scoring two, saw them safely through to the semi-finals where they now face Askeaton.
