UNDER 16 HURLING 21/3/09 ROUND TOWER 3 – 7 CLANN NA GAEL FONTENOY 2 - 5 The Round Towers under 16 hurlers faced a difficult test from a strong Clann na Gael side on Saturday afternoon. A difficult task considering Clann na Gael had only twelve men, meaning Towers could only start twelve of the seventeen and it was a big pitch. Clann na Gael started the better of the two sides. An excellent performance from Kevin "Bosco" O'Neill at full back kept the Towers within 5 points at half time. After a fiery chat from the managers, the Towers 12 took to the pitch in the second half as a different team! Super sub Sean O Donnagáin added his name to the score sheet with a great goal in the first five minutes! This scoring spree continued with scores from Chris Kavanagh, Jack Whelan and Eric Finn. The Clann na Gael forwards looked threatening with the ball however, captain Alex Darbey made sure they saw little of the sliotar! Towers ran out 5 point winners in the end. The score finishing at 3-7 to 2-5. That’s two wins out of two for the Tony, Donal, Martin and the under 16's. Well Done Lads!
