Great
week for Underage Hurling in Bredagh - 20/08/2003
The hurling revolution continues to go from strength to strength
at Bredagh with the capturing of an Under-12 League title on Saturday and the
qualification for an Under-14 Final last night (Wednesday) at Teconnaught.
U12's
First,
the U-12s turned in their best performance of the season to win a cracking contest
on Saturday to clinch the Division Three crown.
The team
was 'truly awesome' in the first-half, according to Coach Danny Hughes. Goalkeeper
Ben McCaughey and his entire defence kept everything out, while Ben Horner and
Donal Hughes gave an exhibition at midfield, and in attack, Emmett Costello, Sean
Lecky and the Dougan siblings, Emmett and Chloe were outstanding.
Two
goals from Lecky had Bredagh ahead at the break and another two from Donal Hughes
and Ben Horner finished the job despite a courageous comeback by Castlewellan.
Final Score 4-0 to 2-2.
TEAM & SCORERS:
Ben McCaughey, Damhan Farmer, Paddy Woods, Peita McAlister, Daniel Higgins,
Donal McKegney, Michael Magee, Ben Horner 1-0, Donal Hughes 1-0, James Day, Emmett
Costello, Chloe Dougan, Sian Diegan, Emmett Dougan and Sean Lecky 2-0.
Subs
John Kelly and Daniel Russell.
U14's
Then
on Wednesday the U-14s (pictured above) beat Castlewellan in a League Play-off,
6-2 to 1-3. The teams drew on their last meeting, but Bredagh had players such
as John McKenna and Matthew Holywood returning, and in Peter Graham they had a
two-goal hero.
Sean Irwin added another late in the game,
but in truth this was a mighty team effort, with all observers being impressed
by the style and passion shown by the Bredagh outfit.
The
result means that the city boys enter a League decider against Ballela.
