Under 11 C Hurling Borrisoleigh 4-14 – St. Oliver’s 6-06

The atmosphere in Semple Stadium was heating up as both teams emerged from the tunnel to the roars of the supporters they had brought. The U11 C title was the coveted prize and both teams were going to fight hard to claim victory. Paddy McCormack would set the pace for his side, scoring four points in quick succession for Borrisoleigh; heaping pressure on St. Oliver’s to reply. Dylan Murphy responded in kind for St. Oliver’s with a point from a free followed by a rasper of a goal past the Borrisoleigh keeper. Paddy McCormack, supported by Michael Kennedy and Daniel Ryan, managed another 1-03 for Borrisoleigh while Thomas McGarry would score 1-02 for St. Oliver’s to ensure they were level with Borrisoleigh going into the second half. Daniel Lee knocked a point over his shoulder and the Borrisoleigh crossbar and in doing so set the pace for the second half. It was sure to be as riveting as the first. Paddy McCormack proved too much for the St. Oliver’s defence, managing to score 3-04 from play. St. Oliver’s fought hard and managed 4-03 in the second half but the clock was to be against them and their momentum was halted by the full time whistle. Borrisoleigh would go on to claim the title after what was one of the most thrilling finals seen in the stadium over the two day event.
