Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s hurling year came to a close in Borrisokane on Sunday afternoon when the Blues suffered a 12-point under-21A semi-final defeat to defending champions Kilruane MacDonagh\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g took the lead thanks to a Donnacha Quinn free in the second minute, but Kilruane dominated thereafter scoring ten points without reply to lead 0-10 to 0-1 by the 23rd minute – fortunately for Nenagh goalkeeper Kevin Flynn also made a fine save to deny Niall O\u2019Meara a goal in the 21st minute.<\/p>\n

Donnacha Quinn converted a second free in the 25th minute, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g failed to score from play in the opening half and Kilruane retired at the interval nursing a 0-11 to 0-2 lead.<\/p>\n

Two minutes into the second half Kevin Flynn saved a stinging Thomas Cleary shot before a Donnacha Quinn free left eight between them in the 35th minute (0-3 to 0-11).<\/p>\n

Corner-back Conor Ryan scored \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s first point from play in the 39th minute and although David Hickey added to the Blues\u2019 tally four minutes later Kilruane led 0-16 to 0-5 with a quarter of an hour to play.<\/p>\n

Points from Andrew Coffey, Bob O\u2019Brien and David Hickey (two) left ten between them (0-9 to 0-19) with time fast running out, but to their credit Kilruane fired over three injury time points before \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s John Cahalan enjoyed the final say in the matter.<\/p>\n

Sadly, \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s search for a north Tipperary under-21A hurling title now stretches back to 1994. The club would like to thank the management team comprising Ger Tucker, Eddie Tucker, Greg Browne and Michael Cleary for their efforts in preparing this group of players.<\/p>\n

Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g:<\/strong> Kevin Flynn, Donnacha Heffernan, Kevin Gubbins, Conor Ryan (0-1), Daire Quinn, Adam Grattan, Barry Heffernan, Se\u00e1nie Geaney, Killian Gleeson, Gary Howard, Tommy Heffernan, Andrew Coffey (0-1), James Mackey, Bob O’Brien (0-1), Donnacha Quinn (0-3, 0-3 frees). Subs: (37th) David Hickey (0-3) for James Mackey, (52nd) John Cahalan (0-1) for Andrew Coffey, (60th) Darragh Walsh for Killian Gleeson, (60th) Michael Collins for Gary Howard.<\/p>\n
