Hurlers go down to Faughs in JHC1

Not talking our chances . . not enough scoring power up front . . going asleep for periods . . . hard enough to figure how we lost this one. Even though Faughs looked a good hurling side for periods, we had more of the play and were rightly disappointed to lose. We need to beat Castlenock in Porterstown on Saturday to see who progresses to the quarter final.

St Sylvesters 1-9 Faughs 2-10

We gave up a soft goal straight after half time to go down 2-8 to 0-5 but effectively owned the game from there on, won pretty much all the battles except in the full froward line, but were indecisive in our shooting and eventually lost a game we could have won. The backs got on top, especiall the half line of Alan Morris, Enda Flaherty and Pats O'Leary woke up, Fergus and Mannix took over the middle of the field, Dave Keogh started to get on top of his man at centre forward but we hit a lot of aimless wides and dropped a lot slow ball into the full line, easier for the decent full back line to defend. Greg was isolated for long periods, Donal Hayes again took a nasty belt and had to leave (broken bone, hard luck Donal), Conor McCafferty scored a few good points, Keogh put a low hard ball (Pat told him to take his point but fair play to David, he ignored that) in for Andrew Richardson to finish to the net. We finished very strongly but gave ourselves too much to do and were a little incdecisive when it really mattered.
