Connacht Post-Primary SHC 'C' Barry Burke Semi-Final

Coláiste Mhuire 1-10 Ballyhaunis CS 3-13 

Coláiste Mhuire's Senior Boys team were defeated by a much better Ballyhaunis CS in the Connacht Hurling Semi-Final on February 14th in Tuam Stadium. Ballyhaunis started brightly and raced into a 0-6 to 0-1 lead after the first 15 minutes. This was in no small part due to the excellence of their free-taker, Sean Kenny. He landed some excellent long range frees and punished Ballygar every time for defensive mistakes. As half time approached Ballygar began to improve and indeed John Donoghue was unlucky not to have a goal with five minutes remaining. John had the keeper beaten but the corner back for Ballyhaunis, Conor Hunt, was on the goal line to save a definite goal. The half time score was 0-9 to 0-5 in favour of Ballyhaunis. 

After the restart Ballyhaunis scored two quick points and then Simon Thomas scored a goal for Ballygar, after a lovely individual effort. Indeed Simon had an excellent game overall scoring 1-7, 1-4 from play. However Ballyhaunis responded immediately with a goal of their own and then another goal to effectively see of the contest. Ballyhaunis were deserved winners but the Ballygar boys definitely didn't play to their full potential. 
Well done to all involved with the team, mentor Ms. O'Malley and, especially to the Leaving Certificate students on their last match representing the school community.
