Mearnog v RTC

Mearnog ran up a huge 2-28 in the last round, in a shootout with Beann Eadair. Whereas RTC had a narrow enough win in a low scoring game v Whitehall winning 2-10 to 1-09 - maybe giveMearnog the edge but maybe their game just becasue a shootout, no two games are the same.

Match Report from the Dublin County Board:

Naomh Barróg withstood some strong second-half pressure by Naomh Mearnóg to eventually claim a 2-14 to 1-14 victory in their Go-Ahead Ireland Dublin Under 21 ‘C’ Hurling Championship final in Páirc Barróg on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts led by 1-10 to 0-7 at the break but were forced to dig deep with goals from Ben Flanagan (penalty) and Darragh Nolan worth their weight in gold by the final whistle.

After a relatively even opening, the momentum swung in Barróg’s favour as Flanagan fired a penalty into the top corner in the 20th minute and a second home goal could have arrived soon after but for an outstanding save by Sean Gorey in the Mearnóg goal.

The visitors took inspiration from that intervention as they reduced their deficit to a single point in the early minutes of the second-half with the lively Aaron Fahy leaving his marker for dead before crashing home into the roof of the net.

The likes of James McNamee, Rian Kennedy, Tynam Neville and Jake Cregan all impressed in the Mearnóg defence with six Aaron Gahan points and a trio of Cian Madden scores keeping their ambitions alive.

However, the concession of a second goal to Nolan undermined plenty of their positive play and with Joey Kinnane’s late attempt at a levelling score from a free being repelled by the home defence, they were left frustrated by the final whistle.  

For Barróg, it was a deserved success after an encouraging campaign with goalkeeper Podge Ryan, Matthew Sharry, Sean Duggan and Daniel Connolly shining in a defensive capacity.

The front eight all contributed on the scoreboard with Flanagan top scoring with 1-3 while Aodhán Ó Donnchú’s four points and further scores by Mícheál Tierney, Daire Heffernan, Michael Clarke, Dylan Duggan, Donncha Heffernan and Kyle Comerford getting them over the line.
