Almost 7 months on from an impressive opening round victory over Toomevara, Burgess now face reigning champions Kilruane MacDonaghs in the North Under-21 “A” Hurling Quarter Final this coming Saturday (the 8th of October) @ 4:30 p.m in Nenagh. It goes without saying that all support would be greatly appreciated!

The kildangan Borris match was abandoned with about five minutes to go this weekend. Kildangan were winning it well at the time. That coupled with our minors fantastic victory last evening will surely push back our next game in this competition.

Burgess 0:13 Shannon rover Gaels 1:07 Well done lads!!! Fair play to all involved in today's hard-fought win over a battling Shannon Rovers/Knockshegowna side. A soft and sticky surface ensured the first half's play was always tight with Burgess managing to construct a two point lead by half time. S.R.G enjoyed a purple patch not long after the break though, scoring 1-4 without reply to put themselves into a winning position with little over quarter of an hour remaining. However, much credit must be given to our lads who showed an impressive combination of composure and determination to out-gun their opponents seven points to zero for the game's remainder. Today's team and scorers were as follows: 1. Paddy Looby (C) 2. Willie Ryan 3. John O'Dwyer 4. Declan O'Donoghue 5. Jack O'Flaherty 6. Johnny Mulqueen 7. Peter Gill 8. Mike O'Flaherty (0-1) 9. Kieran Ryan 10. Kevin O'Flaherty 11. Stephen Murray (0-10; 5/6 from play) 12. John O'Brien (0-1) 13. Eoin Hogan (0-1) 14. Kevin Seymour 15. Daniel Ryan Subs Used: Tadhg O'Halloran and Tony Hogan. |

Can anyone confirm if so will this push back the junior C fixture Considering the Under 21 semi-final is a confirmed fixture and that there is a crossover of players between the two sides (alongside the fact that a number of players are sitting exams this coming Saturday), I think it can be taken for granted that the Junior 'C' match will not go ahead this coming weekend. Instead, I'd imagine it will be fixed for the following weekend i.e. the 17th/18th of December. It goes without saying that this match should have been played long before genuine fixture congestion became an issue but at least we are likely to have an edge on our opponents with respect to training when it finally does go ahead. |

I see the Tipp GAA site no longer lists Nenagh as the game's venue, though no other ground is mentioned either. If vandalism is the reason behind this uncertainty, I hope Christy McLoughlin gets to execute Yokozuna's Banzai Drop on the perpetrators' heads. |

Templederry has been a happy hunting ground for this team this past month so I think we can be quite satisfied with the new choice of venue. I'm somewhat surprised to see a Ballinahinch man been handed the refereeing job though, considering the close proximity of the two parishes and all - are Loughmore content with the Board's decision to hand the gig to a North ref or can we expect another late change?

Any chance that this game could be recorded monday. I think it definitely should be. At the recent AGM, a motion wrt recording club matches in 2012 was actually discussed. Considering that the club has been quite busy these past few weeks and that it was not envisaged videoing matches until next March-April, the idea remains a little underdeveloped though. The club employed an outside professional to record the County Minor final - could he be approached to do this gig again? |

Westside column - December 24th 2012

The U21 final is set to compete with the wren boys. Loughmore needed extra time to dispatch Ballingarry in the second of the semis at Boherlahan last weekend. That result sets up a novel final on St. Stephen's Day at Nenagh where both Burgess and Loughmore will be seeking a first in the grade. The Mid deserve advance favouritism, though the North come with strong credentials too. Elsewhere the relegation can has been kicked down the road once again - all the way to February 4 in fact following Ballybacon's request for time to prepare for a rematch with Cashel K.C.
The U21 grade rarely disappoints. A week after Burgess held out against Clonoulty it was the turn of Mid and South to convene at Boherlahan and to their credit Ballingarry and Loughmore turned in quite a competitive hour and twenty minutes before a resolution was reached. All uncertainty vanished in the added time as the Mid champs finally nailed down the issue with a sweet and bubbly seven-up margin over a fourteen-man opposition.
Quite a vigorous contest kept the attendance engaged on a crisp afternoon. Plenty of drama too as Ballingarry struck two late goals to send the tie to extra time and give patrons full value for their admission price. A contest that seemed to be leaning Loughmore's way for most of the trip ended in a welter of excitement before the extra time saw normal service resumed as Noel McGrath's team marched on.
On paper Loughmore looked the more formidable outfit, led by team captain, Noel McGrath, at midfield and supplemented by several other members of the McGrath clan. However - and to their credit - Ballingarry came with earnest intentions too, so the contest soon developed into a gripping affair. Loughmore got hit early by a Ballingarry goal when Adrian Cleere planted a 'penalty' after Ian Ivors was unfairly impeded.
The bulk of first half evidence, though, favoured Loughmore. They were moving with more menace in attack, John McGrath showing a real pacey turn of foot. One such run set up Eamonn Connolly for the point of the half. Liam McGrath was hitting the frees with mixed effect and Noel McGrath landed one excellent point from out on the right sideline. Yes, it was the McGrath show alright, though a major negative was the growing list of wides. They hit nine in the first half against Ballingarry's two and yet led by three at the break.
Those wides plus the Ballingarry goal kept the game 'alive' in the first half but the interval pep talk seemed to inject renewed vigour into Ballingarry for the resumption. John McGrath had the opening point of the second half but then Ballingarry hit four on the run to tie it all up approaching the three-quarter stage. Adrian Cleere from play and frees and Jack Fennelly's second point of the afternoon left the game well poised for a rousing final quarter.
And was it rousing? First, Loughmore took a firm grip on events beginning with their goal when a Liam McGrath effort was saved before Eamonn Connolly kicked home the rebound. Then there followed a spread of Loughmore scorers to take them five-up entering the final minutes. A saved 'penalty' from Adrian Cleere seemed an omen of the day's fate.
But wait! There was plenty of drama still to unfold. Ballingarry had to drive for goal now and when an Adrian Cleere effort was saved Ciaran Shelly was on hand to whip home the rebound. Renewed excitement now with the lead back to just two and about a minute to play. Loughmore responded with an answering point from Cian Hennessy to leave the margin at a safer three. It would prove the most precious score of the day because in the next Ballingarry attack Michael Ivors had the ball in Loughmore's net once more. Amazingly it was level pegging, an outcome the referee immediately embraced to send the tie to added time with the South side rejuvenated by that late surge and the Mid no doubt deflated.
In the end, however, there was to be no shock outcome. Adrian Cleere and Noel McGrath swapped points on resuming but then Loughmore hit the push button and the game was over. The effort to get to this stage seemed to have zapped Ballingarry energy and it was Loughmore who drove on decisively. Cian Hennessy, Liam Treacy, Liam McGrath (two) and John McGrath all hit points to take the lead back out to five and this time there was to be no late dramatics by Ballingarry, who by now had lost Darragh Ivors to a second yellow card. In the end Loughmore took it by seven, decisive and deserving.
You certainly couldn't fault Ballingarry for a very honest effort throughout, though in the end Loughmore had more hurling on board, which showed especially at the attacking end. Mind you they'll probably worry about the concession of those critical goals in a defence that has to function without John Meagher.
The final now has novelty with both camps seeking a breakthrough win. Loughmore won a 'B' title in the nineties but have never held the Tony Brennan Cup. That will surprise people because we tend to list Loughmore among the top hurling clubs of recent decades. They're forever prominent, it seems, though such profile isn't matched by their title-haul.
I think they'll be fancied to win a first here, though Burgess have certainly defied the odds up to this point, taking out Nenagh and Clonoulty on their way to the decider. The North champs are a compact outfit, gritty and competitive in their approach as they showed in the semi-final. Centre forward, Stephen Murray, was the individual star that day and I'm sure Loughmore will have noted the name in advance. He won the 'Nenagh Guardian' player of the week award for his efforts against Clonoulty.
The absence of John Meagher from the Loughmore side because of health issues is a major blow to the team. Still, on semi-final evidence perhaps the Mid champs deserve slight favouritism to finally land an elusive U21 title
