Inter hurlers just don't get a break
IHC St Sylvesters 0-13 Naomh Barróg 0-15 Good game of hurling, some wonderful scores from both sides, some felt that Barrog maybe shaded it but I think we were very unlucky not to get a goal from at least four second half opportunities. It was 0-8 each at half time and Barróg raced into a three point lead on the restart. Falvey was denied a goal by a brave keeper, then Mannix was blocked before Mannix then blazed over from the left when a goal seemed on.
While our backline were well on top the Kilbarrack lads hit some great points from far out. Mannix, Martin Ormonde pointed, John Conway was well blocked on a goal chance then Russy was setup in the square and again the effort was smothered (we called for a penalty but, funnily, the ref was not impressed). We finished with a free dropped into the square but couldn't get the needed touch.
