On a sunny spring afternoon in Dolla, St Josephs College, Borrisoleigh qualified for the quarter finals of the Muster Championship with a hard fought win over a gallant Scariff Community College. The game started at a tremendous pace with both sides settling into their stride from the beginning. Scoring chances aplenty presented themselves at either end but it was left to full forward and scorer in chief Jack Delaney to break the deadlock with a sell taken point. Another from a free quickly followed before Scariff got on the scoreboard. With the claremen crowding the midfield and relying on their dangerous inside forwards for scores, it was left to the full back line of Brian Grace, Declan O Connell and the imperious Darragh Carey at No 3 to twarth any chance of a Scariff goal and to their credit they held their opponents to just two scores in the half.

At the other end, the forwards line were beginning to find their feet. Adam Hogan and Micheal Carey in the corners were getting on top of their individual battles and four points between them and Jack Delaney left the half time score 0-6 to 0-2. With only 4 points in the difference a good start in the second half was vital and that’s exactly what happened with some great build up play by Michael O Donoghue and Jake Ryan driving at the defence. A shot by Mark Daniels saved excellently by the goalkeeper but top scorer Jack Delaney w`s on hand to knock the ball into the net. This followed by a pair of scores from captain and midfielder Liam McCutcheon pushed out the advantage.

Scariff were not giving up without a fight though and continued to give their all. A large portion of the half was spent repelling attacks from the Clare team. It was at this point that the Borrisoleigh half back line took control of the proceedings. Anchored by man of the match Eoin Stapleton and flanked by Jack Prior and Liam Ryan, they broke up the Scariff play time after time and allowed midfielder Niall O Farrell and Liam McCutcheon to sweep forward. Adam Hogan knocked over a beautiful point. With the forwards now refreshed by the addition of Jerry Kelly, Richard O Donoghue, Alan Ryan, Tom Fitzgerald and Sean Flaherty, they continued to torment their markers.

A disputed late goal was of little consolation to Scariff and robbed James McCormack of the clean sheet his performance deserved having made some key saves at vital times during the game. As the full time whistle blew the scoreline read 1-14 to 1-3 so whilst not firing on all cylinders St Josephs College recorded the win and their unbeaten season continues. Next up for the Tipperary Champions is Rice College of Ennis.

There will be a 3 act comedy entitled ‘Wake in The West’, in Inch Hall, The Ragg, on Sat 10th , Sunday 11th Monday 12th & Sunday 18th in aid of Drom Inch  Camogie Club. Performances start 8.15 pm sharp each night. A great night promised. Be sure to come early if you want a good seat! Looking forward to seeing you all!
