St. Johns Park
St. Canices 4-6 St. Johns 2-4
Master
Mason hits Johns for 4!!
The
scoreline might look like this was an easy victory,
but ask any of the hurlers in action today and they
will tell you how difficult this really was.
We led by 0-5 to 0-3 at half time having played with
a stiff wind in the first half and our backs were definitely
to the wall! We mixed good hurling with some mediocre
hurling in this period and a better effort was called
for in the second half.
Whoever else listened to the half time team talk, Mason
Clifford definitely did. Exactly two and a half minutes
into the new half, the full forward had unbelievably
hammered home three goals- an incredible feat and surely
a record of note. Not only that but when the John's
lads were putting up a fiery comeback and had closed
the gap to 5 points, who should turn up to score his
fourth goal but that man again.
This was our first real testing game for quite a while
and it took some players a while to get used to hurling
in "the fast lane". This game will undoubtedly
prepare us for a tough quarter final game next week.
Others to perform to a high standard today were Sam
Johnson in goal, Sean Treacy and Evan Guilfoyle in defence,
Aidan Nolan, Cillian Buckley, Peter Vickery and Gerry
Walsh further up the field.
