Blackrock V Effin
Sunday, September 13th. Ballyagran, Co. Limerick.
The South Junior "A" Hurling Championship Final took place in Ballyagran last Sunday under perfect conditions. There was a large crowd in attendance and the late Autumn sunshine contributed to an enjoyable sporting event.
Effin were first to open their account with some well taken points. Later in the first half Blackrock might have thought themselves a little unlucky to concede a 'soft' goal as a high ball lobbed in from distance found it's way to the back of the net. Late in the second half Effin must have believed victory was theirs as they pulled four points clear but Blackrock had that 'never say die attitude' and while some of the supporters were leaving in the dying moments the 'Rock scored a point and immediately followed up with a goal. This drew the teams level at 1 - 16 for Blackrock to Effin's 3 - 10. The referee's whistle soon followed and the game ended in a draw.
The replay will take place on next Sunday, September 20th in Ballyagran and is sure to attract an even bigger crowd. Hopefully conditions will be just as good for the match.
