Clean Ireland Recycling County Senior Hurling Semi-Final
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 4-13 Kildangan 2-19<\/strong><\/p>\n

A replay will be required to separate \u00c9ire \u00d3g and Kildangan following a dramatic Clean Ireland Recycling County Hurling Semi-Final played at Semple Stadium, Thurles this evening – the details of the replayed fixture will be published in due course. <\/p>\n

To their credit Kildangan recovered a nine-point deficit in the second half. With just fifteen minutes to play \u00c9ire \u00d3g led 4-11 to 1-11, but S\u00e9amus Gleeson\u2019s side out-scored the Blues 1-8 to 0-2 during the final quarter with a Ruair\u00ed Gleeson free levelling matters in the second minute of injury time.<\/p>\n

The sides traded points early on and the game was locked at 0-2 apiece by the 8th minute with a long-range point from Billy Heffernan illustrating the strength of the breeze at \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s backs in the opening half.<\/p>\n

A Kevin Tucker free presented \u00c9ire \u00d3g with a narrow 0-4 to 0-3 lead in the 15th minute, but a Mikey Heffernan goal following powerful work by Richie Flannery helped the Blues into a four-point lead. Kildangan responded with a point, but Richie Flannery deflected home a Mikey Heffernan shot in the 20th minute and \u00c9ire \u00d3g now led 2-4 to 0-4.<\/p>\n

A Kevin Tucker free forced \u00c9ire \u00d3g seven points clear, that is until Darragh Egan buried a 21-yard free in the 22nd minute 2-5 to 1-4.<\/p>\n

A Mikey Heffernan free then left five between the sides, but Kildangan closed out the half in determined fashion with four unanswered points leaving just one in it at the break (2-6 to 1-8). Indeed, the \u00c9ire \u00d3g goal was fortunate to remain intact in the 28th minute when Michael McNamara made a fine save to deny Joe Gallagher a goal.<\/p>\n

Within two minutes of the second half Kildangan had taken a 1-10 to 2-6 lead. \u00c9ire \u00d3g hit back, however, with points from Mikey Heffernan, Kevin Tucker (two frees), James Mackey and Donnacha Quinn forcing the Blues into a 2-11 to 1-10 lead by the 39th minute.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g appeared to then strike for a crucial goal in the 40th minute when a James Mackey run culminated with a Paddy Murphy strike. Kildangan hit back with a Ruair\u00ed Gleeson \u201965, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g plundered yet another goal thanks to Mikey Heffernan in the 45th minute to lead 4-11 to 1-11.<\/p>\n

Points from Ruair\u00ed Gleeson (free) and the outstanding Gerry Slattery steadied Kildangan before a Richie Flannery point in the 49th minute left eight between them – 4-12 to 1-13.<\/p>\n

An Eoin Gleeson point preceded a Joe Gallagher goal in the 53rd minute and suddenly the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lead was down to four – 4-12 to 2-14.<\/p>\n

Darragh Egan (free) and Ruair\u00ed Gleeson (free) then added to the Kildangan tally before a Kevin Tucker free in the 57th minute left a goal between them – 4-13 to 2-16.<\/p>\n

With the wind at their backs there was still time for Kildangan to rescue the situation and rescue it they did with points from Tadhg Gallagher, Tommy Connors and Ruair\u00ed Gleeson (free) forcing a replay.<\/p>\n

Loughmore-Castleiney won their corresponding semi-final this afternoon in Semple Stadium when beating a gallant Borris-Ileigh side 1-17 to 2-12.<\/em><\/p>\n
