Match of the Year Tommy O Brien Semi- Final
16/5/2014
St. Canices 3-6. Graig/Skeough 4-7
Today we fell to Graig/Skeough in the Tommy O Brien semi-final in sunny James Park. We had lost heavily to the same opposition earlier in the league, but today, with a stronger outfit, we came within a whisker of causing a huge upset.
We actually led 3-6 to 3-3 with 10 minutes to go. But the country lads finished very strongly, and their subs were a good match for our extras.
Of our 20 hurlers today, 18 are in either 4 th or 5 th classes.
All teachers and parents present today were highly impressed with the standard of hurling we displayed, and while we lost today,we already are looking forward to next year and 2016.
