The heart, guts and determination that Burgess Hurling was built upon was truly in evidence in Templederry today when a very young side (all outfield players are still underage in 2012) out-fought and out-thought a talented Nenagh team, which contained 10 Senior players.
While each and every player that togged today was undoubtedly a credit to the club, the management team's role in this victory cannot be underestimated imho. They appreciate what makes a Burgess hurler tick and today's performance very much exemplified such.
This is the club's 4th North "A" Under 21 title since 1999, no mean feat in itself, though I think we'll all agree that a County title to accompany them is overdue. There is no reason why the current crop cannot put this right in the coming weeks - the very best of luck to them in their quest to do so.
The Burgess team (scorers in brackets) that lined out today was 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
11. Stephen Murray (0-10; 0-4 from frees)
9. Kieran Ryan (0-1)
17. Tadhg O'Halloran (0-1)
8. Michael O'Flaherty
12. John O'Brien (0-2)
13. Eoin Hogan (0-2)
14. Kevin Seymour
15. Daniel Ryan (0-2)
Subs: Vincent Kearns, Kevin O'Flaherty, Brian Sherlock, Tony Hogan, James Coady, Brian Carroll, Robbie Mulqueen, Eoin Fogarty, Cian Comerford, David Seymour, Damien Maher, Thomas, Walsh and JP Grace.
Mgmt: Timmy Hogan, Niall McGrath and Sean Flynn.
First Aid: Joe Sherlock.

Shane Brophy's Match Report from the Guardian:
Murray inspires Burgess to U21 ‘A’ success
(10/12/2011)
Burgess produced a performance of sheer heart, guts, determination and no little skill to shock hotfavourites Nenagh Eire Óg in an absorbing North Under 21 ‘A’ Hurling final on Saturday afternoon.
The Under 21 grade is always one that generates great debate in terms of its scheduling but once again provided a game that didn’t disappoint where despite dominating for the vast majority of the game, Burgess could not kill off the Nenagh challenge and came close to at least forcing a replay.
However, that could have been extremely generous to a Nenagh side who just couldn’t match the hunger and spirit within the Burgess side who hurled like this had a chip on their shoulder having been written off by most observers prior to throwin, but not their own supporters who celebrated their success with an enthusiasm not witnessed on a playing field in the division in many years.
From 1 to 15, Burgess produced a terrific performance, spearheaded by Stephen Murray who topscored with ten points, six from play. His ability to drift into space and then call for possession proved too much for the Nenagh defence. Burgess’ confidence on the ball was a notable feature of the performance, even in the closing stages when the right option was always taken.
Defensively they were superb, giving the Nenagh forwards no space in which to operate. Captain and goalkeeper Paddy Looby was beaten three times but it was his superb save from Shane Maher in the 54th minute which proved the winning of the game as a goal at that stage would have reduced the margin to two points.
However, that doesn’t suggest that Nenagh would have gone on to win as following each of Nenagh’s goals, Burgess responded with points, in the style of champions.
The full back line of Willie Ryan, John O’Dwyer and Declan O’Donoghue were extremely tight and efficient and were afforded great protection by an outstanding half back line where Jack O’Flaherty, Johnny Mulqueen and Peter Gill managed to keep Tommy Heffernan, Paddy Murphy and David Cleary under wraps for the majority of the game with only Shane Maher managing to get some joy for Nenagh in the half forward line late in the second half.
Stephen Murray started at midfield along side Kieran Ryan and the two struck an effective partnership with Michael O’Flaherty contributing strongly in the second half.
While Murray will take a lot of the plaudits for his scoring exploits, John O’Brien, Danny Ryan and Eoin Hogan all chipped in with two points each with the latter also effective is setting up a number of points while Tadhg O’Halloran and Kevin Seymour also played key roles.
It is hard to believe that Nenagh’s wait for a North Under 21 ‘A’ title now stretches to 17-years but they can have few complaints as only nine scores over the 72 minutes played (six minutes added time in both halves) is not enough to win a game of this magnitude.
Trailing by six-points at half time having scored just 1-1 against the breeze, Nenagh were still in contention but the fact that Burgess scored eight points in the second half, all from play into that same breeze shows how far off the mark Nenagh were.
Defensively they did as much as they could with some of Burgess’s points of a high standard. Daire Quinn provided great leadership at full back and while the half back line of Billy Heffernan, Mark Flannery and Sean Geaney hurled well in the main, the fact that a good number of Burgess’s scores came from over 40-yards out negated their positive work as well as that of Niall Madden and the hard-working Eddie Darcy at midfield.
Up front, Nenagh just didn’t get enough out of the likes of Paddy Murphy, Tommy Heffernan and Shane Maher but that was mainly due to the superb close-marking of the Burgess defence.
Playing with the aid of the breeze in the first half, Burgess were quick to put the elements to full use and were three points to the good inside nine minutes with Danny Ryan opening the scoring with Stephen Murray following with two points (1 free).
The opening minutes were spicy with David Cleary fortunate to escape sanction for a high challenge on Jack O'Flaherty while a minor bout of handbags saw Peter Gill and Tommy Heffernan yellow-carded. Thereafter the game settled with Burgess setting the tone.
Michael O’Flaherty was inches wide from finding the net while Nenagh captain Willie Bolger had to make a good save to deny Eoin Hogan at the expense of a 65 which Stephen Murray converted in the 12th minute. Murray added two further points before Eoin Hogan scored a sharp point on the turn to put Burgess seven unanswered points to the good after 21 minutes.
Nenagh had half chances to open their account, mainly through Tommy Heffernan but they finally got off the mark in the 22nd minute with an Eoghan Slattery goal as he reacted sharpest in the square to pull a loose ball to the net. A minute later, Nenagh were almost in again but Paddy Murphy’s half-struck shot was saved, Tommy Heffernan had a chance to point but Peter Gill made a superb tackle and from there the ball was moved downfield where Danny Ryan pointed, a sequence of play which epitomised the difference between the sides.
Tommy Heffernan cut the gap but two further points from Stephen Murray extended the Burgess lead to six-points at half time (0-10 to 1-1).
An expected strong start to the second half by Nenagh didn’t materialise as Burgess continued to close down the space and when the first score of the second half came a full ten minutes into the half, it was from Stephen Murray who extended the Burgess lead.
Nenagh needed a big boost and they got it from the puckout when sub David Hickey latched onto a breaking ball from 21-yards out, he found the corner of the net despite the best efforts of Paddy Looby. Shane Maher followed it with a point and suddenly the margin was down to three points.
Burgess hit back well with three points in a five minute spell, all superb points by Murray (2) and Tadhg O’Halloran. Tommy Heffernan kept Nenagh in contention but long-range efforts from Kieran Ryan and John O’Brien had Burgess seven-points clear after 51 minutes.
However, Nenagh kept coming back and when Paddy Murphy was fouled on the 21-yard line, Shane Maher’s shot was saved on the line, Tommy Heffernan was first to react to send the rebound to the net after 52 minutes.
Burgess responded to the goal well with Eoin Hogan finding the range. Nenagh almost goaled again in the 54th minute but Paddy Looby made a fine diving stop to deny Shane Maher and from the follow-up, Eoghan Slattery pointed well. John O’Brien took a pass from Kevin Seymour to point from an acute angle as Burgess appeared to be in control again with five minutes to go.
Shane Maher was taking the fight to Burgess and pointed for a second time going into six minutes of added time due to a number of minor knocks while referee Michael Murphy wasn’t fooled by Burgess attempts to waste time.
Trailing by four points, Daire Quinn pointed from distance and with Nenagh needing a goal, it nearly came when Paddy Murphy gathered a high ball close to goal but Johnny Mulqueen made a vital block which proved crucial as Burgess held out to win their fourth Under 21 ‘A’ title.

Mgmt: Timmy Hogan, Niall McGrath and Sean Flynn. First Aid: Joe Sherlock. Thanks for posting this I had been watching out for it myself. A fair assessment of the game. I hadn't realized it was 17 years since Nenagh had won a North title, and when I did the sums I realized I was on a Burgess side that was narrowly beaten by them in the North Championship. I doubt I have enjoyed a game of hurling as much in a fair while. Onwards and upwards, the future is bright for Burgess. The future is green and gold. |
