U16 V Clonakilty
September 11, 2019
Ibane Gaels U16A hurlers were in action last Friday evening week in the West Cork semi final when they travelled to Ardfield to play Clonakilty. Both sides already played each other this year in the league, with Clonakilty coming out on top. Ibane started well with Sean Walsh and Philip Flynn a handful for the Clon backs. Two great points from Luke McCarthy and some well taken frees from Fergal Walsh helped Ibane into a four point lead. Clonakilty pulled a few points back and struck for a goal just before half time to lead 1-06 to 0-09 at the short whistle. Both sides traded a few points in the second half but Ibane started to pull away with some good scores from Sean Henchion and Jack Moloney. Clon weren’t finished yet though and got in for a goal late in the game to cut the margin to the bare minimum, O-16 to 2-09. Ibane hung on for a great victory and by the time you read these notes, will have played Bandon in the final.
