Premier 2 League final

Bride Rovers 1-15 Iniscarra 2-10

After a huge battle we emerged winners of the U14 Premier 2 league at home on Saturay the 22nd of November against a strong Iniscarra. We started well with Eoin at mifield winning the throw in and sending the ball to Brian for a point. John Matthew and Cian were solid at the back as we pushed forward Seamus and Conleith scoring points.  Iniscarra took over at this stage as they scored 1-7, this would have been higher but Ben in goal denied them any extra scores. Just before the break  Jordan made a great run finding Brian who pointed. This left us trailing by 1-3 at half time.

Conleith pointed at the start of the second half but Iniscarra attacked and scored 2 points. The rovers never say die attitude showed at this stage as Conleith scored 2 points followed by a great goal from Brian. Kieran and Griffins work rate was huge as Shaun sent a perfect pass to Jordan who pointed. Brian and Seamus were both fouled and Conleith scored the 2 resulting long distance frees. We led by a point with time almost us however Iniscarra managed a points setting the game up for extra time. Subs were Oisin Roche, Ciaran Nugent, Craig O’Callaghan, Michael Quinlan and John Buckley.

Peter O’Leary showed his ability in the first half of extra time sending the ball to Conor Barry who pointed from an awkward angle. Jordan delivered the ball to Conleith for our next point. Iniscarra pushed forward and despite the best efforts of our backs scored a goal.

We were trailing by a point again as the second half started and despite tired legs we attacked with both Conor and Jordan being fouled. Conleith stepped up and scored 2 points from the resulting frees. Patrick caught a great ball in defense at a crucial time sending the ball to Conleith who pointed again.
