BRIDE ROVERS GAA CLUB NOTES
WINS FOR TWO JUNIOR TEAMS
WE had two junior hurling games over the weekend withthe Junior A hurling team in action in the Avondhu/Imokilly JHL Div. 1 and theDivision 3 hurlers playing a practise game.
We travelled to Glanworth on Saturday 10th March for our firstleague game. This was also our first team get together for 2012 as all alongthe Junior have been training with the Seniors.
Due to injuries, work, andholidays our panel of 30 players was reduced to 19 players on the day. Our lastJunior game last season was in Ballyhooley when Harbour Rovers defeated us inthe County League quarter final.
We opened brightly and had 3well worked points on the board before Harbour Rovers scored and coming up tohalf-time we lead by 7points to 3 when we struck for an excellent goal, theopposition responded and levelled matters at 1-7 each and at half-time we werebehind by 1-8 to 1-7.
Following a half-time chat weopened smartly in the 2nd half and had 2 excellent goals within as manyminutes. Our defence tightened up matters at the back and with more movementoutfield we took complete control of the game and continued to secure some verygood scores.
We finished the game well aheadand had a comprehensive victory on a score line of 5-12 to 1-13. In fact 5-10of our score came from play but a disappointing aspect of the game was that weconceded 9 points from frees.
