The senior hurlers picked up a precious point in the championship when they came from behind to secure a richly deserved draw versus Enniscorthy CBS. Although the Boker Boys never had the lead, they never gave up the fight and got just about what they deserved in the end.
The
Enniscorthy lads raced into a 1-4 to 0-1 lead after ten minutes with the help a
rocket of a goal from county minor Seamus Casey. Gradually Wexford CBS began to
believe and clawed their way back into the game with pointed frees from the
hurl of Conor Coleman together with one from play from Coleman after 19
minutes.
It was 1-8
to 0-4 approaching half-time when CBS got a break when the Enniscorthy keeper
dropped a Conor Coleman centre to the net and the sides retired with CBS
trailing by four points (1-8 to 1-4).
The defence
led by Daniel Lynch, Adam Dempsey and Cormac Byrne was working overtime and
needed some help from their colleagues in attack in the new half. Cathal Kirwan
had entered for the unluckily injured Padraig Rossiter and was also playing
well.
CBS went to
work straight from the start of the new half. Liam Rockett (2), Stephen
Rossiter and Cormac Byrne (with a beautiful lift and strike effort from inside
his own half) had points but the visitors always managed to keep their noses in
front with points of their own.
With ten
minutes to go, CBS got the lead down to one point thanks to Conor Coleman
converted frees and his eighth and final point tied up the game in the 59th
minute.
It was a
great performance full of grit and determination. Well done to all. Next up is
an away trip to Waterford to take on Abbey CC of Ferrybank.

Dempsey, Padraig Rossiter; Shane Hall, Daniel Lynch (Capt.), Cormac Byrne
