U12 Hurling Final
Bride Rovers 2-6 St Catherines 0-4
We contested the U12 East Cork Final last Friday in Dungourney. Our opponents on the night were St Catherines who had narrowly beaten us in the League earlier in the year so an exciting contest was expected. We were first on the attack but were finding it hard to score Catherines were pushing forward but Shane O’Flynn in goal had an outstanding game bringing off save after save throughout the match. He was assisted in defence by Adam and John who were well tested on the night but were up for the challenge. St Catherines scored the first point of the game from a free. Both teams drove a number of shots wide Shane O Connor had a shot on goal which was saved before we got on the score sheet with Jessie scoring a goal from a free. St Catherines attacked again but could find no way through as Jack DJ and
We started the second half strong with Brian and Leon at midfield working tirelessly assisting in both defence and attack. We were awarded a free which Jessie sent over the bar. Conleth was playing well sending ball into the danger area. Dj sent a great pass to Jessie who scored another point he also scored a point from a free. Eoin, Patrick, Mark and Jordan Mannix were all introduced as Subs and played their part. We finished the game well with Shane O’Connor and Jessie linking up for Jessie to get another point and Dylan scoring a point from a free. We held St Catherines scoreless in the second half which is full credit to the whole team and showed just how much this bunch of lads wanted this result. Other subs were Dean, Dean, Tadgh

U13 Hurling
Bride Rovers 4-10 St Catherines 1-5
We played St Catherines on Monday night last in Ballynoe in the U13 Championship. We were first on the attack with Shane Walsh scoring 2 points. Adam and Killian were playing well on the wing clearing the ball out of defence. St Catherines were awarded a free and scored a point. Shane O Connor sent a lovely ball across the St Catherines square Ciaran putting pressure on the goaly and
We started the second half with some more wides before Shane Walsh passed to Dean who went on a run up the field before sending the ball over the bar. It was debated at one stage was DJ playing in the backs or forwards as he was up and down the field one minute assisting in attack the next in defence. Shane Walsh and Jack Conor both scored goals but St Catherines didn’t give up and pushed forward again to score a point.
