Bride Rovers 1-14 Ballinora 3-5

We travelled to Mayfield on Saturday 17^th October to play the U12 hurling league final our opponents were Ballinora. This was a tough game from the start, we were first to get off the blocks with a point from Conor then after a great passage of play Josh got on the ball and put it over the bar. We were not getting it all our own way as Ballinora got 3 points quickly before Ronan pointed 3 frees in a row. Adam was clearing a lot of ball from the back line and got 2points for his efforts. Ballinora were doing a lot of fouling and Ronan once again stepped up and put 2more points over the bar. Ballinora only managed another point before half time leaving us leading @half time by 8points to 4
The second half started off with an explosion from Ballinora but our backs were leaving little pass them we scored a further 4 points putting us ahead by 8 points at this stage you would think that we were in a comfortable lead but Ballinora hit back at us and scored a goal and a point. Ronan then got a point leaving 6 between us but it was all Ballinora for the next 10 min and they scored 2goal and a point leaving us trailing by a point. Our never die attitude saw Frank puck out the ball which Cillian Tobin passed to Edmond and he found the net for our only goal giving us a 2 point lead. From the puck out Josh got on the ball and put it over the bar which was to be the last score of the match. Well done to all 23 boys involved in this team and to Brendan ,Ger,Barry,Mark,Adian
