Junior B Hurlers win again
On a beautiful evening in Ridgewood, Finians started very lively and for a while it looked like they might run rings around us. Luckily for Syls they didn’t manage to convert this energy into scores. The score remained at 1 point apiece for a good while in that first half until Declan Markey found the net with an absolute rasper of a shot to leave the score at 1-2 to 0-2 at HT.
Teams traded 2 points each early in the 2nd half before Finians then got on top for a period and scored 1-1 to put them 2 ahead.
But while Finians had youth and speed in abundance we had maturity ! and composure. The very experienced defence make up of Ian McCafferty, Ciaran Murray, Billow, Fergus and Oisin formed the platform for a sustained period of dominance by Syls in which we scored 8 points without reply, David Kennedy firing over 5 of those and Paul Ryan with 2 fine scores also. The Manning brothers Eoin and Cathal worked tirelessly throughout. Conor McMahon put in a big shift in the middle, Lloyd and Shane scrapped for every ball and big Phil was a constant threat up front. Finians got a late goal to make for a nervy finish, but our defence held strong to seal the win for Syls
