An injury time goal from hosts Roscrea saw the Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g minor A hurlers suffer a defeat in reasonably dramatic circumstances at a roasting hot Roscrea on Thursday evening. <\/p>\n

The sides traded frees early on before an Andrew Coffey point gave \u00c9ire \u00d3g the lead in the eighth minute. The sides were locked at 0-3 apiece in the 14th minute before points from Donnacha Quinn (two) and Jack Molamphy helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-6 to 0-3 lead by the 19th minute.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g maintained that three-point advantage for the remainder of the opening half. A Roscrea effort did narrow the deficit in the 25th minute, but two late Aidan Healy points helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-10 to 0-8 interval lead.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g were now playing into a light breeze, but started the second half in positive fashion with three Donnacha Quinn points (two frees) forcing the Blues five points clear before Michael Collins landed a long-range free in the 36th minute to leave six between them – 0-14 to 0-8.<\/p>\n

The sides then traded points before two Roscrea efforts reduced the gap to four points. Then, in the 42nd minute, Sam Conlon fired home a Roscrea goal and suddenly there was just the one in it (0-15 to 1-11).<\/p>\n

Three minutes later Michael Collins won a free which Donnacha Quinn converted, but Roscrea responded with two frees of their own to level matters (0-16 to 1-13) by the 48th minute. Seconds later Roscrea landed a long-range free to take the lead.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g responded in style when good work from Jack Molamphy and Gary Howard culminated in an Anthony Walsh goal in the 50th minute – 1-16 to 1-14.<\/p>\n

Roscrea hit back with a free, but that effort was cancelled out when Christopher Ryan set up Andrew Coffey for \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s final point in the 53rd minute.<\/p>\n

To their credit Roscrea finished strongly with a converted free and a point from play levelling it up with five minutes to play.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g narrowly missed out on a late goal when Donnacha Quinn beat the advancing Roscrea \u2018keeper with a clever flick, but, unfortunately, the ball bounced agonisingly wide of the goal in the 56th minute.<\/p>\n

In the 61st minute Andrew Coffey was fouled and Barry Heffernan enjoyed an opportunity to fire \u00c9ire \u00d3g into the lead with a long-range free. Cruelly, Barry\u2019s monster effort hit a post, was cleared and somehow a Roscrea shot snuck in under the \u00c9ire \u00d3g crossbar at the opposite end of the field.<\/p>\n

The Blues face Toomevara in the next round on Tuesday, July 23rd at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh (throw-in 7.30pm). Your support on that occasion would be much appreciated.<\/p>\n
