v Paulstown Tommy O Brien quarter final
12/5/2015
Goresbridge/ Paulstown 3-3 Canices B 2-9
We travelled to Paulstown on bright/ cool Tuesday and beat the hosts in a tense, tight Tommy O Brien quarter final. We led 2-7 to 0-1 after (an agreed ) 22 minute first half. We had the advantage of the breeze in this half- and we played really well.
The home side rallied well in the second half, and were extremely disappointed when at the end of another 22 minutes (7 longer than had been agreed at half time), they had fallen three points short. Unfortunately, they argued with that result- thinking they had scored four goals, and not three! With the addition of extra players on both sides ( requested by the hosts), the exchanges were keenly contested nearing the end, but we did very well to withstand the onslaught.
What a pity it was to see irate adults and some of the young hurlers go overboard with their antics at the end of the game!
