Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g joined Burgess and Kildangan in the quarter-finals of the Hibernian Inn North Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship thanks to an eight-point win over Roscrea at St Michael\u2019s Park in Toomevara on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The eight-point winning margin proved a little generous in the end – Roscrea battled gamely throughout this contest and were misfortunate to see a number of late efforts drift wide before a Michael Heffernan goal sealed the win for the Blues.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the draw for the next stage of the Hibernian Inn North Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship will take place in Cloughjordan on Sunday, June 8th after the Borris-Ileigh versus Lorrha-Dorrha game.<\/p>\n

Despite playing into the swirling breeze Roscrea raced into a 0-2 to no-score lead before Tommy Heffernan got \u00c9ire \u00d3g off the mark in the fourth minute. Killian Gleeson and Paul Ryan then added to the Blues\u2019 tally to force \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-3 to 0-2 lead by the eighth minute.<\/p>\n

Roscrea equalized almost immediately before a Michael Heffernan effort edged \u00c9ire \u00d3g back in front.<\/p>\n

In the 17th minute Tommy Heffernan turned over a Roscrea defender and flashed home an \u00c9ire \u00d3g goal after Pearse Morris had attempted to find Paddy Murphy at full-forward. A minute later Tommy Heffernan won a searching Daire Quinn delivery and belted in a second \u00c9ire \u00d3g goal to force the Blues into a 2-4 to 0-3 lead.<\/p>\n

Kevin Tucker (free) soon added to the \u00c9ire \u00d3g tally, but Roscrea responded with a point of their own.<\/p>\n

A Pearse Morris point preceded another goal chance for Tommy Heffernan, but on this occasion the Roscrea \u2018keeper made a stunning save. Pearse Morris gathered the rebound and first over to leave nine in it. Roscrea brought the half to a close with a fifth point and the sides retired with eight between them (2-7 to 0-5).<\/p>\n

A Roscrea goal in the opening minute of the second half complicated matters as Paul Murphy\u2019s men poured forward with the wind now at their backs – 2-7 to 1-5.<\/p>\n

A Michael Heffernan point added to the \u00c9ire \u00d3g tally, but Roscrea fought on and fired three consecutive points (one free) to leave a goal in it (2-8 to 1-8) by the 38th minute.<\/p>\n

Points from Michael Heffernan and Kevin Tucker (free) forced \u00c9ire \u00d3g five clear. Roscrea responded once more with a point before points from Paddy Murphy and Michael Heffernan forced the Blues two goals clear (2-12 to 1-9).<\/p>\n

Michael McNamara saved Davin Flynn\u2019s rasping 21-yard free on the hour mark and although Roscrea notched one further point Tommy Heffernan set up Michael Heffernan for a fine goal in the 62nd minute.<\/p>\n

Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g:<\/strong> Michael McNamara, Mark Flannery, Noel Maloney, Daire Quinn, Billy Heffernan, Hugh Maloney, Se\u00e1nie Geaney, Kevin Tucker (0-2, 0-2 frees), Barry Heffernan, Pearse Morris (0-2), Michael Heffernan (1-4, 0-1 frees), Tommy Heffernan (2-1), Killian Gleeson (0-1), Paddy Murphy (0-1), Paul Ryan (0-1).
