DOUGLAS GAA SENIOR
DOUGLAS PROGRESS IN MINOR `A` HURLING CHAMPIONHIP
Report by Pat Harrington
Douglas played Brian Dillon’s in the first round of the
championship. The Douglas lads came out of the traps very quickly
and really took the St. Luke’s side to the cleaners –
they led 1 – 6 to 0 – 0 after the first quarter. The
half time score was Douglas 1 – 9 Brian Dillon’s 0
– 1.
The second half was a different kettle of fish as our opponents
took the game to Douglas; Brian Dillon’s being just six
points in arrears at the end of the third quarter. Dillon’s
continued to dominate for the rest of the game despite being
reduced to fourteen players, but were unable to deny Douglas
victory. The game finished on a scoreline of 1 – 13 to 1
– 7 in favour of Douglas. Scores for Douglas came from:
R. Keating 0 – 4, F. O’Donovan 0 – 3, B. O’Connor
0 – 3, T. O’Callaghan 0 – 1,
S. Crowley 0 – 1, F. O’Brien 0 – 1, E. McCarthy 1
– 0.
JUNIOR HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP
This game featured Glen Rovers against Douglas. Glen scored a
goal in the opening thirty seconds setting the pattern for the
first half as the northsiders dominated throughout to lead by 2
– 9 to 0 – 4 at the interval. Donal Meade was
introduced as a substitute and made an immediate impact by
scoring 1 – 1. Try as hard as they would Douglas were just
not good enough. Scorers for Douglas were: M. Kennedy 0 – 4
(from frees), B. Horgan 0 – 1, J. O’Keeffe 0 – 1,
J. Kenneally 0 – 1. The final score was Glen Rovers 2 –
17 Douglas 1 – 8.
MINOR PREMIER HURLING
Douglas played the Cork Under 16s in a challenge game in
preparation for the championship. The O’Connor brothers
combined well for the first goal of the game with Brian finishing
well to the net. Cork under 16s finished the first half the
better side and led 1 – 7 to 1 – 4 at the break.
Douglas disappointed very much in the second half and lost on a
scoreline of 2 – 10 to 1 – 6.
By the time you have read this hopefully the lads will have
overcome Blackrock and qualified for a semi-final clash with Glen
Rovers which is due to be played on Sunday 18.08.02.
