Despite trailing by seven points with fourteen minutes to play the \u00c9ire \u00d3g junior Bs mounted a spirited rally at Kilcolman which just fell short.

\nNorth Tipperary Junior B
\nHurling Championship
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 2-12
\nPortroe 3-12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the \u00c9ire \u00d3g junior B hurlers lost on this occasion plenty of positives could be taken from the performance. Indeed, the spirit of the players and their determination to work hard for one another will be crucial in the Blues\u2019 final group game against Newport. Having beaten Silvermines in the opening round \u00c9ire \u00d3g remain in a good position to make the quarter-finals at the very least.<\/p>\n

Portroe started well and led 1-2 to 0-1 after seven minutes with Anthony Walsh (free) responsible for \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s opening point. Enda O\u2019Sullivan made a neat save to deny Portroe a second goal in the ninth minute before two Anthony Walsh frees cut the deficit to two points (0-3 to 1-2).<\/p>\n

In the 13th minute Conor Kirwan set Anthony Walsh up for \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s first point from play before the Portroe \u2018keeper made a telling save to deny Ois\u00edn Ryan a goal following enterprising work from the influential Conor Kirwan.<\/p>\n

In the 16th minute an Ois\u00edn Ryan point tied the game (0-5 to 1-2), but between the 18th and 24th minutes three frees helped Portroe to scoot into a significant advantage.<\/p>\n

Points from Thomas O\u2019Brien and Anthony Walsh (\u201965) reduced the margin to one approaching half-time before another free helped Portroe into a 1-6 to 0-7 interval lead.<\/p>\n

In the opening minute of the second half Brian Duffy\u2019s shot was saved by an alert \u2018keeper and within seconds Portroe raced down the field to score a goal of their own. Two minutes later Dinny Hogan was fouled for a penalty which Portroe elected to tap over the bar – 0-7 to 2-7.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g needed to respond and respond they did in the 34th minute when a combination of Ois\u00edn Ryan and Conor Kirwan set up Brian Duffy to belt home a rousing goal.<\/p>\n

Thomas O\u2019Brien set up Aidan Healy for a terrific right-handed point soon after, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g conceded two frees which Portroe converted before Portroe scored a third goal in the 39th minute (1-8 to 3-9).<\/p>\n

The sides traded frees thereafter before an Anthony Walsh free cut the deficit to six points with ten minutes to play (1-10 to 3-10).<\/p>\n

A Portroe point in the 54th minute opened a seven-point gap once more before Conor Kirwan set up Niall O\u2019Gorman for an effort which flew narrowly wide. With five minutes to play Thomas O\u2019Brien grabbed Enda O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s puck-out and picked out Conor Kirwan who laid off to Aidan Healy. Healy made no mistake with his cracking shot and the deficit was down to a manageable four (2-10 to 3-11).<\/p>\n

Ois\u00edn Ryan and Anthony Walsh (free) then added to the \u00c9ire \u00d3g tally, but the Blues struggled to create one final goal-scoring opportunity and a Portroe free brought the game to a conclusion.<\/p>\n

Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g: <\/strong>Enda O’Sullivan, Paddy Flynn, John Kelly, Alex Jones, Jamie Gallagher, Lenny Ryan, Kevin Gubbins, Thomas O’Brien (0-1), Michael Hynes, Kieran Duffy, Conor Kirwan, Anthony Walsh (0-8, 0-6 frees, 0-1 \u201865), Ois\u00edn Ryan (0-2), Brian Duffy (1-0), Aidan Healy (1-1). Subs: (46th) Jack Sheedy for Jamie Gallagher, (52nd) Niall O\u2019Gorman for Brian Duffy, (59th) Paul Slattery for Ois\u00edn Ryan.<\/p>\n
