The Sunday Game !!.. - 2014-07-24 14:16:00
We play Courcey Rovers in Round 3 of the Cork Senior Hurling championship. This will be the first time we've met Courceys at Senior level. Our only previous championship clash with the Ballinaspittle side was in the first round of the County Junior Hurling in 1968 when Courceys, then in in the Carbery Division defeated us in the Athletic Grounds. We've both lost two games in this years championship so next Sunday presents the last opportunity to progress in the SHC this year. On the last day of May we met Carrigtwohill in a repeat of last years first round game. That night in Riverstown we made a blistering start with two goals. Unfortunately in the ten minutes before the break and again after the restart Carrig scored a string of points to build up a ten point lead. Like last year we battled hard but ended up being beaten by five points. In Round 2 at Pairc Ui Chaoimh we were simply outclassed by Sarsfields. We were beaten on a scoreline of 2 25 to 0 15 though we could easily have scored three goals. It's hard to suffer a heavy defeat like that but in fairness the lads are really up for Sundays game and the training has gone well. Courceys lost to Ballymartle in the first round and lost to Bishopstown on Saturday night last. They were level at 0 8 apiece with 42 minutes gone on Saturday night but Bishopstown finished strongly to win. Courceys are a battle hardened team and like us wont want to be in a relegation dogfight. On the positive side going in to Sundays game the injury worries we had before the last round have cleared up but indiscipline means we are short a player from our forward division. Since our elevation to Senior ranks we have faced some mighty challenges and Sunday will be no different. We need to improve our scoring tally undoubtedly and we simply have to cut down on the number of frees we concede. It's going to be a huge task to win on Sunday but we are capable of doing so. Go for it lads, the parish is behind ye. Lets have mighty vocal support ion Pairc Ui Rinn on Sunday. The game is timed for 2 .30 and will be followed by Killeagh v Na Piarsaigh. Championship to date
