Dramatic Munster Senior Hurling Encounter

Defiant Hazelwood lose out in extra time in dramatic Munster Senior Hurling encounter.

Hazelwood College 1-17
Carrignavar 3-12

On the 17th of October 2012 Hazelwood College narrowly lost out to Carrignavar in the second round of the Munster Colleges. Carrignavar started at a blistering pace, with two goals in the first seven minutes. Despite this, Hazelwood fought back with 4 points of their own, three from the stick of Damien Lacey and one from Darragh Kiely. Following Hazelwood’s sustained response, both sides exchanged points with Damien Lacey scoring from placed balls, leaving the score at half time 2-5 to 7 in favour of Carrignavar.

Hazelwood surged forward at the start of the second half, with scores from Damien Lacey, Sean Fehin and Sean Flanagan. In the fourth minute of the second half Hazelwood scored a goal through John Walsh. From here Hazelwood managed to push into a clear lead, thanks to the team’s sterling second half performance. Though Hazelwood’s heroic efforts cost the team valuable energy, the team looked set to achieve a remarkable victory. Unfortunately with two minutes left on the clock, Carrignaver grabbed a goal leaving them a point down and in stoppage time Carrignavar then snatched another point from a free. This meant that the game headed into extra time.

The first half of extra time turned into a low scoring tight affair, ending with the score even yet again thanks to John Walsh’s fine point for Hazelwood, which answered Carrignavar. Despite Hazelwood’s tired legs, the team rallied for the the second period, which was end to end action. Carrignavar scored an early point before Damien Lacey replied. Unluckily for Hazelwood, Carrignavar seized their chance and scored the decisive point to clinch the victory in the dying moments of the game.
