\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 2-14 Moycarkey-Borris 0-18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moycarkey-Borris started well and led 0-5 to 0-2 after sixteen minutes. \u00c9ire \u00d3g initially struggled against an enthusiastic home side with a James Mackey free and an effort from John Cahalan getting the Blues off the mark.<\/p>\n

A John Cahalan point in the 17th minute reduced the margin to two before Philip Hickey set up team captain Paddy Murphy for a goal which presented Nenagh with the lead (1-3 to 0-5) for the first time in the 19th minute. Four minutes later a clever James Mackey pass sent Tommy Heffernan through on goal, Heffernan finished well and \u00c9ire \u00d3g led by four.<\/p>\n

To be fair to the opposition Moycarkey-Borris responded to the challenge in admirable fashion and struck four consecutive points (two frees) to tie the game (2-3 to 0-9) by the 29th minute.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g closed out the half positively with points from Paddy Murphy and Barry Heffernan helping the visitors into a 2-5 to 0-9 interval lead.<\/p>\n

Efforts from Andrew Coffey and James Mackey (free) helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a four-point lead immediately after the break. Moycarkey-Borris responded once more, however, and out-scored the Blues by three points to one to close the gap to two (2-8 to 0-12) by the 39th minute. Moycarkey-Borris were misfortunate to miss out on a three-pointer in the 37th minute when Michael McNamara made a telling save at his near post.<\/p>\n

Philip Hickey found the side netting in the 42nd minute before points from Paul Ryan and Tommy Heffernan helped the Blues into a 2-10 to 0-12 advantage entering the final quarter.<\/p>\n

Moycarkey-Borris responded with a point, but further efforts from Andrew Coffey and James Mackey (free) left five in it before a converted free from the home side reduced the margin to four with ten minutes to play (2-12 to 0-14).<\/p>\n

Thanks to points from D\u00e1ire Quinn and Andrew Coffey \u00c9ire \u00d3g led 2-14 to 0-15 with five minutes to play, but full credit to Moycarkey-Borris, the home side converted three late placed balls to reduce the deficit to two. However, Moycarkey-Borris struggled to conjure the goal-scoring opportunity which was required to rescue the situation.<\/p>\n

The three remaining quarter-finals in the Dr Fogarty Cup take place on Sunday, March 22nd – Mullinahone v Moneygall, Lorrha-Dorrha v Cappawhite & \u00c9ire \u00d3g Annacarty v Burgess.<\/p>\n
