Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g relinquished their north Tipperary junior A hurling league title at Kilcolman on Saturday evening – the Blues required a win over Burgess to progress to the knock-out stages, but had to content themselves with a draw. The \u00c9ire \u00d3g club would like to wish Burgess all the very best of luck in the knock-out stage of the competition.<\/p>\n

Points from John Cahalan and Mark Tuite helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-2 to no-score lead inside the opening four minutes. To their credit Burgess responded with three consecutive points to edge into a 0-3 to 0-2 lead by the ninth.<\/p>\n

A David Hackett free levelled matters and although Burgess hit back almost immediately \u00c9ire \u00d3g streaked into a 0-6 to 0-4 lead thanks to points from Adam Grattan and a David Hackett brace (one free).<\/p>\n

Burgess responded with a point, but an effort from John Cahalane and a cracker from wing-back Eoin Fitzgibbon saw the Blues into a 0-8 to 0-5 lead by the 20th minute.<\/p>\n

Burgess then converted a \u201965, but smashing points from David Hackett and Mark Tuite forced \u00c9ire \u00d3g four clear before Burgess closed out the half with a brace of their own – half-time: Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 0-10 Burgess 0-8.<\/p>\n

Burgess dominated the opening eleven minutes of the second half and out-scored \u00c9ire \u00d3g 0-4 to 0-1 with David Hackett accounting for the Nenagh effort from a placed ball.<\/p>\n

Burgess now led 0-12 to 0-11, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g hit back with a David Hackett free before points from John Cahalan and Mark Tuite forced the Blues into a 0-14 to 0-12 lead by the 48th minute.<\/p>\n

A converted Burgess free left a point in it as this game entered the final ten minutes.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g created a goal-scoring opportunity in the 53rd minute of real note, but the Burgess \u2018keeper saved brilliantly from the raiding Mark Tuite.<\/p>\n

To their credit Burgess fired over two consecutive points thereafter to edge into a 0-15 to 0-14 lead and although Mark Tuite notched a late equaliser a draw was not sufficient to propel the Blues into the knock-out stages of the competition.<\/p>\n

The junior A team will now focus their attention on the Watch Centre North Tipperary Junior A Hurling Championship which the Blues last won in 2012.<\/p>\n
