Crumlin too strong for our hurlers

AHL2: Syls 2-8 Crumlin 2-18 (Broomfield, 24st June 2015) The 10 point margin probably flattered Crumlin a little bit but there was no denying that they moved the ball just that bit smarter and quicker. Syls competed well in the first half to keep within a point of Crumlin but a rather soft goal followed by a soft point gave Crumlin a 1-9 to 0-7 lead and knocked us back a bit. Two goals in the second half from Mossy and Colly ( 20m free) kept our hopes alive, but we were finding it hard to cope with Crumlin’s pace and they picked off some fine scores.

Their very effective No6, Kevin Byrne, ( Dublin squad for a number of years) providing the platform. From the Syls perspective, Graham Morris gave a very solid performance at full back and Stephen Keogh at full forward was always a threat.

On the lovely evening in Broomfield with a decent crowd present, this was a high tempo, fast paced, skilful game and a joy to watch.
