JUNIOR HURLING
Our junior hurlers took on a very resilient Tallow team in the final group game of the junior ( senior attached ) championship in Tourin last Friday evening. with Tallow alreay exiting the championship local pride was at stake here and they certainly put it up to Lismore in the early stage's of the match. tallow raced into the lead scoring five unanswered points from play and frees before a fortuitous goal by Robert Troy brought us back into the game. Some nice Passages of play from both sides ended the half with Tallow been ahead by two pts. On resumption of play momentum swung Lismore's way as we began to dominate play and another goal by joint Captain David Smith put us in the driving seat. However, Tallow not to be out done struck for three more pts and for the last ten mins Lismore's defence had to withstand a number of efforts by Tallow to get the goal they needed. It never came and Lismore held on for a memorable victory on a scoreline of Lismore 2-13 allow 1 - 14. We now play neighbours Ballyduff in the Semi Final. Well done to all involved.
