Juvenile Hurling


Bridegtown VC.....................4-7       Wexford CBS........................3-5
Wexford CBS and Bridgetown VC played out an entertaining challenge match which the visitors to Pairc Charman won by five points.
CBS started very poorly and conceded two early goals despite playing with the wind. However, centre-forward Noel O’Brien grabbed two goals to level matters after ten minutes. The first goal was from a free which went all the way to the net and the second was a fine strike which the keeper couldn’t keep out such was the power of the shot.
The CBS attack has lots of possession but wasn’t converting due to players not getting in front of their men. As the half-wore on though, this changed and the points began to arrive.
Noel O’Brien set up Kristian Bunici and he split the posts and Kristian repeated the trick minutes later. At the other end, slack marking allowed Bridgetown in for two goals which was disappointing.
The half-time score was 4-3 to 2-4. The second half started brightly for CBS when Ben McMahon scored a fabulous goal but all the Boker boys could add to that was a point from Jordan Hayes while Bridgetown struck four points.
It was a useful exercise and the full panel will continue to train for the County under-14 League Blitz which will be held after Easter. This is a competition that CBS have won for the last three years in a row. The panel is also due another day in Thurles at the Westcourt Cup.
Wexford CBS: Adam Howlin; Ryan McLoughlin, Cody Murphy, Finian Coughlan; Eoghan Mahon, Jack O’Leary, Chris Cowman; Jordan Hayes (0-2), Cathal Kirwan; Philip Rawson, Noel O’Brien (2-0 1 free), Aaron Walsh; Ryan Dempsey, Kristian Bunici (0-2), Ben McMahon (1-1).
Subs: Terry Whitty for Kirwan, Danny Walsh for Rawson, Shane Flood for Bunici.
