\nClean Ireland Recycling County Senior
\nHurling Championship Semi-Final Replay
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 1-17 Kildangan 0-12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g saw off Kildangan with eight points to spare in a Clean Ireland Recycling county senior hurling semi-final replay at Semple Stadium, Thurles on Sunday afternoon. \u00c9ire \u00d3g dominated for long periods of the game and led 1-10 to 0-6 at half-time following a first half goal from Richie Flannery.<\/p>\n

Three Ruair\u00ed Gleeson frees helped Kildangan into a 0-3 to 0-2 lead during the opening eight minutes. Kevin Tucker (free) and Michael Heffernan were responsible for \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s opening efforts. Despite playing into the wind \u00c9ire \u00d3g took over thereafter and held Kildangan scoreless for the ensuing seventeen minutes. A Michael Heffernan free levelled it in the ninth minute before a Paddy Murphy point gave \u00c9ire \u00d3g the lead for the first time in the tenth – 0-4 to 0-3.<\/p>\n

Two Kevin Tucker frees added to the \u00c9ire \u00d3g tally and although Kildangan \u2018keeper Darragh Egan made a series of fine saves during this semi-final replay Richie Flannery scored a vital three-pointer in the 21st minute following Andrew Coffey\u2019s clever delivery – 1-6 to 0-3.<\/p>\n

Two Ruair\u00ed Gleeson frees cut the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lead to four points before Michael Heffernan and Kevin Tucker forced the Blues back into a six-point lead – 1-8 to 0-5.<\/p>\n

Kildangan\u2019s Eoin Gleeson notched his side\u2019s first point from play in the 30th minute, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g closed out the half in determined fashion with Michael Heffernan landing a long-range free and Kevin Tucker scoring a second point from play – 1-10 to 0-6.<\/p>\n

Richie Flannery and Ruair\u00ed Gleeson traded points early in the second half before a point from Paul Ryan and a Michael Heffernan brace (one \u201965) saw \u00c9ire \u00d3g leading 1-14 to 0-7 with fifteen minutes to play.<\/p>\n

A Darragh Egan free from a 21-yard line preceded a Paddy Murphy point before Paul Flynn and Michael Heffernan (free) traded efforts.<\/p>\n

A Ruair\u00ed Gleeson point from play left nine in it (1-16 to 0-10) with eight minutes to play before a Michael Heffernan point brought the scoring to a close from an \u00c9ire \u00d3g point of view in the 54th minute. To their credit Kildangan fought gamely on and were rewarded with late points from Jack Loughnane and Joe Gallagher.<\/p>\n
