North Tipperary Under-14A
\nHurling Championship Final
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 0-8 Roscrea 1-10<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00c9ire \u00d3g were left heartbroken at MacDonagh Park, Cloughjordan on Wednesday evening when a heroic effort from the Blues fell agonizingly short against a terrific Roscrea team in a hard-fought under-14A north Tipperary hurling final.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g arrived in Cloughjordan chasing a 12th under-14A divisional title, but were cast in the role of underdogs having lost (0-7 to 4-16) against Roscrea during the group phase of this year\u2019s competition. The Blues, however, seized the initiative, worked tirelessly and only came undone when a late scoring surge from Roscrea denied the Blues a famous win. Indeed, the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lads were a credit to themselves, their families and everyone associated with the preparation of this team.<\/p>\n

The Blues started in positive fashion with points from Killian Malone (free), Conor McCarthy and Barry Coffey helping \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-3 to 0-1 lead by the 11th minute. A fluke goal in the 12th minute handed Roscrea the lead while a pointed free left \u00c9ire \u00d3g trailing 0-3 to 1-2 by the 13th minute.<\/p>\n

Conor McCarthy was misfortunate to see a goal chance fly narrowly wide in the 14th minute, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g shook off that disappointment when Jake Morris landed a huge free from his own 65-yard line in the 15th minute. Then, seven minutes later, Jake Morris converted a \u201965 to level it up (0-5 to 1-2).<\/p>\n

To their credit Roscrea closed out the opening half in positive fashion with two late points handing them a 1-4 to 0-5 interval advantage.<\/p>\n

Within four minutes of the second half \u00c9ire \u00d3g were level thanks to a Killian Malone free and a terrific point from Barry Coffey – 0-7 to 1-4.<\/p>\n

Roscrea converted a free and a \u201965 to scoot into a 1-6 to 0-7 lead with fifteen minutes to play. <\/p>\n

Five minutes later \u00c9ire \u00d3g conjured a goal-scoring opportunity when Conor Bonnar won Evan Murphy\u2019s long-range free; Bonnar fired in a rasping shot, but the Roscrea \u2018keeper pulled off a great save.<\/p>\n

A Killian Malone point with six minutes to play narrowed the gap to a single point (0-8 to 1-6), but Roscrea responded with a point of their own before the Roscrea \u2018keeper saved brilliantly once more, this time from the raiding Conor McCarthy.<\/p>\n

Sadly, \u00c9ire \u00d3g, who were hurling into the wind, struggled thereafter and Roscrea closed out the game with three further points.<\/p>\n

The Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g under-14A team was managed by David Minogue, Michael Hallinan and Donie O\u2019Brien – the club would like to thank the management team for their work this year. <\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that this group of players won the north Tipperary under-14A football title this year.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Roscrea who bridged a nineteen-year gap on Wednesday evening – Roscrea last won the under-14A title in 1994.<\/p>\n
