Sarsfields (2-17) vs Midleton GAA (1-14)
Pairc Ui Rinn, 16:30PM
Midleton 1-14 Sarsfields 2-17
Our Senior Hurlers League campaign came to a disappointing end on Saturday evening last when we went down to East Cork rivals Sarsfields by six points in the League final. In an entertaining encounter played to a high standard it was nip and tuck for the first half. We responded well to an early Sars goal and scored some excellent point only for Sars to rally strongly before half time. We trailed by a point, 0-10 to 1-08 at the short whistle. Sars goaled early in the second half and extended their lead to six points. We pulled it back to four but that was as close as we got. We were chasing the game after that and never looked like bridging the gap. The players battled away hard right to the end against an impressive looking Sarsfields team. While disappointing to lose any final we can have no complaints on the night. We have a young talented team and this game will serve as good preparation for the upcoming Fe 21 county final which is scheduled for November 20th. The Management team and the players have to be commended on their efforts throughout the year, although we have no silverware at senior level a county semi final and league final is not to be dismissed lightly.
