First Years in Munster Semi-Final

Hazelwood College 1-9
Scoil Ruain, Killenaule 1-7

Last week Hazelwood College qualified for the Munster Semi-Final in the first year football by overcoming Killenaule in Rathkeale last Wednesday. Hazelwood started brightly and led 1-2 to no score after 5 minutes. Barry Bresnihan had scored an opportunist goal after good work by John Barrett. Further points by Kevin Noonan and Michael Noonan saw Hazelwood lead by one point at half time. The defence more than played their part in the opening half time with John O’ Gorman an inspiration at half back.

Hazelwood came under pressure for the opening 10 minutes of the second half but goalie Patrick Jewitt and Brian Noonan at full back were heroic in their defence of the goal. Killenaule led by one point with ten minutes of the match remaining but Dromcollogher responded by playing great football and scored a further three points to ease to victory. Barry Bresnihan and Michael Nolan were amongst the scorers.

Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher 2-13
Doon Convent,Doon 3-5

Played in Croom recently, Hazelwood College defeated a strong Doon side for the third year and are the proud holders of the Senior Trophy. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Hazelwood defended very well throughout this period and held Doon to six scores. Lizzie Costello(2), Joanne O’ Gorman(1) and Jen Stokes(1) recorded four great points leaving the half time score Hazelwood 0-4, Doon 2-4.

Turning with the breeze at their backs, the Drom girls took on Doon and had the game turned around fifteen minutes into the half. Two cracking goals from Clodagh Reidy and Lisa Molyneux set up the victory and with more points coming from Joanne O’ Gorman(2) , Clodagh Reidy(2), Jen Stokes(1) and a free from Lizzy Costello the game was never in doubt. Doon hit back briefly with a goal and a point but three more scores from Clodagh Reidy (2) and Lisa Molyneux (1) the game was in the bag. Doon missed a very late penalty which was the last kick of the game.

Best for Hazelwood on the day were M. Buckley, C. Reidy, L. Molyneux, N. Greaney, J. Stokes, L. Costello and J. O’ Gorman.
