LISMORE OVERCOME SPIRITED BALLYGUNNER CHALLENGE.

LISMORE   1 – 8  BALLYGUNNER   0 – 3 .

From the throw in Peter o’ Keeffe popped over a point from way out on the right .

Lismore applied the pressure with Cailean O’Gorman providing a liberal supply of the sliotar from centrefield. Ballygunner tried hard to get the momentum going and shot two wides. Also they found it hard to create chances against a tight marking Lismore defense where Kieren Bennett and Michael Crowley were excellent at the skill of hooking their opponents.  Captain Sean O’Sullivan and Cian O’Hara showed up well for Ballygunner during this period.  However Lismore extended their lead when Conor Murray pointed from close range. Padraig Prendergast was adept at taking long range frees for Lismore. From one of these  diminutive Paudie Coleman gathered and sent over a glorious point . Peter O’Keeffe surged through for Lismore and was fouled and Padraig Prendergast stepped up and pointed the resultant free.  A good clearance by Kevin Curran of Ballygunner caught the eye. Johnny McCarthy hurled some good ball  and did his utmost to swing the game Ballygunner’s way . Stephen Bennett in the Lismore goal had to be alert to make a good save  from Christopher Kervick.  An astute lob by Gavin Pratt was excellently saved in the Ballygunner goal by Tim O’Sullivan. Ballygunner won a ’65 which was taken by Sean O’Sullivan. He lobbed it into the goalmouth and the sliotar was tapped over the crossbar by Kieran O’Neill. The half – time whistle sounded shortly afterwards with the score standing at Lismore 0 – 4   Ballygunner  0 – 1 .

LISMORE SECURE VITAL SCORES

From the throw – in  Padraig Prendergast pointed. Inside a minute a high lob into the goalmouth was batted out by the Ballygunner goalkeeper Tim o Sullivan and Paudie Coleman struck the sliotar firmly to the back of the net. Ballygunner had an uphill battle now but they continued to play good hurling with Sean o’Sullivan, Gavin Kearns and Warren de Courcey  prominent. They applied the pressure and were rewarded with a point from a 65 by Sean O’Sullivan . From a close range free, Johnny McCarthy went for goal which was saved for a 65 by the Tallow backs. From this set – piece  Conor Molloy pointed. Back came Lismore and Gavin Pratt, following a short solo, pointed off his left. Then Padraig Prendergast shot over a great point, after a long solo – run from defense .  That completed the scoring and when referee Noel O’Sullivan sounded the final whistle Lismore were County Champions.

Favourites  Lismore were quickly into their stride and although they showed good skills the scores were slow to come. Sarah Fenton struck some good balls along the ground. A good sideline puck for Lismore by Rachel Whelan caught the eye. Emily Heneghan showed good skill when she went on an excellent solo – run . She struck a free low and hard which was put out for a ’65 by the Portlaw backs. Clodagh Power made some good clearances for Portlaw. For Portlaw, Kelly Fitzsimons showed great determination in defense. Finally the goal came for Lismore when a high puck by Aoife Barry ended up in the back of the net. Portlaw’s Shannen Power was injured and had to receive attention .Zoe O’Donoghue and Claire Nolan played well and did their utmost to turn the game Portlaw’s way. Rachel Whelan made some good clearances in defense for Lismore  and one long delivery by her was a joy to watch. Lisa McGrath also did well for Portlaw. Lismore’s second goal came when Rachel Whelan struck low and hard from the hand.

LISMORE CONTINUE TO DOMINATE.

Lismore assumed control from the restart and won a ’65 which was taken by Aoife Hannon. This puck was saved on the goal – line . Shortly afterwards Rachel Whelan scored an excellent goal from the right. One minute later a ’65 by Aoife Hannon went all the way to the net.
