Knockainey 5-10

Ballybrown 1-6

BALLYBROWN playing senior hurling since 1968 and the holders of two senior county titles and beaten in an All Ireland club final, departed from the scene at Bruff last Saturday at the hands of Knockainey in the final game in the relegation battle.

Now its intermediate hurling for at least a year for the former king pins.

Once more the famous fighting qualities of Knockainey emerged. This was a replay thoroughly enjoyed by the followers of the 'All Blacks'. From the outset they hurled with gusto and received a major boost as early as the fifth minute when Dermot Walsh neatly tucked away a goal.

Ballybrown came back to go in front.

Alan O'Connor from a penalty shot levelled the scoring in the 18th minute and followed with the lead from a point. Patrick Kirby had a point for Knockainey to gain parity and it was the flying John Leo who restored the lead. It stood at 1-7 to 1-5 at the interval.

Ballybrown were not playing well and to prove a point, Michael Ryan, sent to the Ballybrown net. Knockainey were on a roll from this stage. Kevin Madden sent over an inspiring point and goals from Patrick Kirby and Donncha O'Brien sealed senior status for the south men. They won in a canter at the end. Ballybrown's great stint in the top flight had ended and they now face an uncertain future as its not easy to come out of the intermediate grade as clubs are learning every year. 

Scores:

Knockainey: Patrick Kirby 1-5, Donncha O'Brien 2-0. Dermot Walsh and Michael Ryan 1-0 each, Pearse Davern 0-2, Kevin Madden, John Leo  and Paddy McNamara 0-1 each.

Knockainey: Kieran Madden, Gerard O'Shea, William O'Brien, Shane Walsh, Kevin Madden, Anthony Kirby, Brian O'Shea, Eugene Mulcahy, Pearse Davern, John Leo, Paddy McNamara, Michael Ryan, Patrick Kirby, Donncha O'Brien, Dermot Walsh. Subs. Mark Cleary for S. Walsh, Donal Madden for Ryan.

Congratulations to all the members of the Senior Hurling panel and management, as finally the County Senior Championship began for Knockainey on the 13th of June in ballygran against Bruree. Knockainey started off well playing with the aid of a slight wind. We went ahead with a free from Patrick Kirby, but we lost our way slightly with Bruree scoring 3 points. A great goal was then scored by Donnacha O Brien and a few more points just before half time the sides were level. The second half started off very badly for us when we didn't score for the first 15 mins of the second half. We were then 4 points down to a Bruree side that were playing full of confidence. However the lads dug deep and pulled them back and went ahead with 5 mins left. The substitutions that we used all played very well when they were used. The team on duty was, K. Madden, G. O' Shea, W. O Brien, P. Davern, K. Madden, A. Kirby, N. Finch, P. Macnamara, E. Mulchay, M. Ryan, P. Madden, D. O Brien, B. O Shea, J. Leo, P. Kirby. Subs used, P.Davern, M. Cleary, D. Madden.
