The season is drawing to a close for the first and second year girls basketballers in Hazelwood College. The first year team have had great success to date boasting three wins out of three pool games. They will now go through to the semi-final of the Limerick Schoolgirls League next month.
The second year team have had mixed results with one great win over Coláiste Mhuire Askeaton and two losses in hard fought matches. This team will wait in hope to see if they will qualify for the play-offs in the next couple of weeks.
Great credit is due to both teams of girls for their hard work and enthusiasm in the pool stages. We wish them the best of luck and hope to see just reward at the end of the season in March of this year.

Hazelwood college, Dromcollogher 2-12
St. John the Baptist, Hospital 4-12
This replay was played in a gale force wind conditions and though it was a draw at half time and again at full-time, hospital’s determination against the wind in extra time was determining factor in this game. Hospital playing with the wind opened the scoring with two fine points, from midfield. A slightly fortunate goal by Jerry lane put Hazelwood into a short lived lead, Hospital responded with a brace of points from placed balls. Despite playing into the strong breeze, Hazelwood were mustering some attacks and Jerry Lane scored another point to level the game. Hospital responded with a goal and a point to put them four points up with 10 minutes remaining in the first half. Hazelwood College continued to plug and managed a point from a Jerry lane free followed by an excellently finished Shane Carroll goal to level matters up. Each side managed another point before half time, to leave Hazelwood seemingly in the stronger position at the start of the second half.
Hospital signalled their intentions opening the score with a fine point with the opening minute of the second half. Hazelwood then began a period of dominance which would see them score six unanswered points through Barry Lynch, Michael Fitzgibbon and for Jerry Lane frees. With six minutes remaining, however Hazelwood had not finished off the game and a goal by Hospital meant the game was again in doubt. A Jamie Coughlan point but Hazelwood three up but this was followed by another Hospital goal with two minutes remaining to level the game. The full time score was Hazelwood 2-10, Hospital 3-7. Hospital were much stronger in extra-time and though Hazelwood were playing with the wind in the first period of extra time they were outscore by 1-1 to 2 points and once Hospital turned around the drove home this advantage with four unanswered points to leave two goals between the teams at the finish. Next up for Hazelwood is Causeway in The Munster Vocational Championship in Newcastlewest, on Friday November 28th. A much improved performance will be needed if Hazelwood are dethrone the current All-Ireland champions and reach theit third Munster Final in a row at this age group.

Both teams left Dromcollogher regretting chances missed but relieved to have another opportunity of qualifying for the Limerick Schools Senior “A” hurling final. The game looked to have slipped away from Hazelwood but two injury time points from Jerry Lane were enough to earn them another chance in a game that has been fixed for Hospital at 12:30 on Wednesday, November 17th.
Hazelwood had started the brighter of the two teams and scored five points without reply in the opening fifteen minutes. Jerry Lane and Kevin Quaid scored two each, while Shane Carroll popped over the other. This period of Hazelwood dominance was shattered in a two minute spell, where Hospital scored 1-1, so despite having the majority of play in the first 17 minutes Hazelwood only lead by one point. It was now Hospital’s time to dominate, which they did until half-time adding a second goal. Hazelwood managed only one more point before half-time through Jerry lane. So at half time the score-line read 0-6 to 2-1 in favour of Hospital.
The second half was a real ding-dong affair. Michael Fitzgibbon, now operating at full-forward, opened Hazelwood’s account in the second half bringing the game level again. Hospital immediately replied before Jerry lane pointed a free to bring the sides level once more. Hospital once again replied through a free to keep their noses in front. Hazelwood scored three points in three minutes through Damian Lacey, Kevin Quaid and Jerry lane who struck a penalty over the bar to push themselves into a two point lead with ten minutes remaining. It was then that Hospital struck for their 3rd goal putting them back into a one point lead. The game was far from over yet. Daniel Collins, on as a sub, scored a levelling point with five minutes to go. The momentum then swung back to hospital with two points, this meant that Hazelwood were now two points down heading into injury time. Jerry lane added another two to his total and Hazelwood breathed a sigh of relief. Both teams will hope to improve dramatically as the winners face Ard Scoil Ris in the final.
