Busy times at Coláiste Phobal Ros Cré

Senior hurling: On Wednesday, November 6, our senior hurling panel travelled to Na Piarsaigh GAA pitch for the first match of the championship. In the opening minutes of the match the opposition got two early goals but we quickly fought back with a brilliant delivery from Sam Dooley to Paul Dooley, who found the net putting us ahead. That was soon followed by another goal from James Sampson. We quickly got well ahead in the game with points from Seamie Cleare, Darragh Phelan and Sam Dooley, who also finished two good goals. The ball was defended well in the backline by Josh Loughnane and Sean Maher, which contributed to more scores from Gearóid Maher, Calum Mitchell and a super goal from Sam Carey. Jack Walsh was introduced to the game and soon enough got his name on the scoresheet working well with Darragh Phelan to score three points just before half time. The half time score was 5-18 to 1-4

We started off the second half strong after a few substitutions were made and all made a good impact when they came on. There was a lot of pressure on the backline but Paul Simpson, Mikey Loughnane and Jack Moloney worked well to keep them out as much as possible. We clocked up more points with good play from Aaron O’Donaghue and James Sampson in the second half and another goal from Sam Carey.

With 10 minutes to go, more subs were introduced including Michael Dooley, who finished off the scoring for Roscrea with a point in the final minutes. The final score was 6-27 to 2-10.
