South Leinster Junior Hurling B c’ship Round 2

Enniscorthy CBS………………..2-15
Wexford CBS………..…………..0-8

The battle of the CBSs saw the Enniscorthy version come out comfortably on top at the end but not before after a stern challenge from their Wexford town rivals. It was 1-10 to 0-6 at half-time as dogged resistance from the Bokerboys kept them in the game.

However, this eventually faded as the second half went on and Enniscorthy struck for a late goal to put daylight between the teams.

Points from Glen Murphy Butler (free), Lee Hore and Dan Browne had CBS trailing by 1-4 to 0-3 at the end of the first quarter and CBS were unfortunate to lose two members of their half-back line Paul Leonard and Emmett Nolan to injury around this time.

It was a brave battling performance with exceptional displays from Richie Lawlor, Josh Shiel, Glen Murphy Butler and Josh McMahon. Next up is the final group game v FCJ Bunclody.

Wexford CBS: Francis Dempsey; Joe Barrett, Josh McMahon (Capt.), Josh Murphy; Gary Carroll, Paul Leonard, Emmett Nolan; Glen Murphy Butler (0-6 frees), Reece Murphy; Conor Graydon, Josh Shiel, Richie Lawlor; Dan Browne (0-1), Lee Hore (0-1), Shane Doyle.
