\u00c9ire \u00d3g qualified for the semi-finals of the north Tipperary under-21A hurling championship thanks to an 11-point win over Roscrea in terrible conditions at Moneygall on Sunday afternoon – the Blues now join Kildangan, Burgess and defending champions Kilruane MacDonagh\u2019s in the last four.<\/p>\n

Playing with the wind in the opening half \u00c9ire \u00d3g started well and took the lead thanks to a Donnacha Quinn free before Bob O\u2019Brien grabbed a Donnacha Quinn sideline ball in the third minute and beat the Roscrea \u2018keeper with a left-handed effort – 1-1 to 0-0.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g dominated the opening half and added six more points to lead 1-7 to no-score at half time – Donnacha Quinn (two frees), Bob O\u2019Brien (three) and Andrew Coffey were responsible for these efforts. The Blues probably deserved to enjoy a more comfortable interval advantage, but Roscrea\u2019s Daryl Ryan made a series of fine saves. Indeed, Daryl Ryan made three more outstanding interventions in the second half.<\/p>\n

Roscrea\u2019s Jack Ryan and \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s David Hickey traded points during the opening two minutes of the second half before interval substitute Evan Fitzpatrick struck for a three-pointer which left seven between them (1-8 to 1-1) in the 34th minute.<\/p>\n

An Ethan Flynn point cut \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s lead to six points, but the Blues responded with three Donnacha Quinn frees to lead 1-11 to 1-2 with ten minutes to play.<\/p>\n

Conor Bergin and Donnacha Quinn (free) then traded scores before Jack Ryan concluded the scoring from a Roscrea point of view.<\/p>\n

In injury time \u00c9ire \u00d3g struck for their second goal when Bob O\u2019Brien worked the ball toward Andrew Coffey and Coffey, in turn, picked out the unmarked Tommy Heffernan who fired home a neat three-pointer.<\/p>\n
