A dominant Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g enjoyed a twelve-point win over a determined Mullinahone side at Boherlahan in the second round of the county senior hurling championship on Friday evening. <\/p>\n

County Senior Hurling Championship Round Two
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 1-18 Mullinahone 0-9
\n<\/strong>
\n\u00c9ire \u00d3g struggled to get into a decent rhythm in the opening half and led by just three points (0-10 to 0-7) at the break. Kevin Tucker (free), Tommy Heffernan (two), Donnacha Quinn, Brian Quinn, Se\u00e1nie Geaney (two) and three superb efforts from Michael Heffernan accounted for the \u00c9ire \u00d3g scores while Eoin Kelly notched two from play and five frees to keep Mullinahone in touch.<\/p>\n

The Blues spurned a handful of notable goal chances in the opening half, but upped their performance considerably after the break. Indeed, \u00c9ire \u00d3g held Mullinahone scoreless for twenty-two minutes of the second half and in the meantime raced into a 1-16 to 0-7 lead. The crucial goal arrived in the 48th minute when Tommy Heffernan won a ball at full-forward and beat Mullinahone \u2018keeper Alan Walsh with a rasping shot. In all Mullinahone\u2019s Alan Walsh made six saves.<\/p>\n

Michael Heffernan set the tone in the second half when converting a sideline ball in the 37th minute. Se\u00e1nie Geaney (two), James Mackey, Donnacha Quinn and Tommy Heffernan added the points before Mullinahone responded through an Eoin Kelly free in the 52nd minute. A Kevin Tucker free and Donnacha Quinn\u2019s third point closed out the scoring from an \u00c9ire \u00d3g point of view while Eoin Kelly (free) had the final say in the matter.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g now progress to round three of the county senior hurling championship. The draw will be made on Monday night and could see the Blues facing one of the following round two winners: Borris-Ileigh, Moycarkey-Borris, Roscrea, Toomevara, Templederry Kenyons, Burgess or Cappawhite, Upperchurch-Drombane or Holycross-Ballycahill. It is understood that since \u00c9ire \u00d3g have already played Toomevara that the sides will not be asked to play each other in the third round.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s progression to the third round also ensures the Blues\u2019 place in tier one of the re-structured county senior hurling championship which kicks into gear in 2014. Tier one will feature: Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g, Borris-Ileigh, Moycarkey-Borris, Roscrea, Toomevara, Templederry Kenyons, Burgess or Cappawhite, Upperchurch-Drombane or Holycross-Ballycahill, Killenaule, Carrick Swans, Drom & Inch, Loughmore-Castleiney, \u00c9ire \u00d3g Annacarty, Clonoulty-Rossmore, Silvermines and Kildangan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile tier two will feature: Burgess or Cappawhite, Upperchurch-Drombane or Holycross-Ballycahill, Mullinahone, Carrick Davins, JK Bracken\u2019s, Portroe, Knockavilla Kickhams, Kilruane MacDonagh\u2019s, Ballingarry, Borrisokane, Golden-Kilfeacle, Lorrha, Moneygall, Thurles Sarsfields, Boherlahan-Dualla and Cashel King Cormacs. <\/p>\n

One of the following sides will be relegated this year and be replaced by the 2013 county intermediate hurling champions: Boherlahan-Dualla, Golden-Kilfeacle, Moneygall, Cashel King Cormacs or Carrick Davins.<\/p>\n
