The Doheny Junior Hurlers were heavily defeated by reigning
champions Kilbree in the first round of the Junior A Hurling Championship,
losing on score-line of 2-23 to 0-13 in Enniskeane on Sunday last. In
truth the Dunmnaway side can have no complaints as they were totally outclassed
from start to finished by a slick Kilbree side. The Dohenys got the
opening score of the game through the hard working Bill Murphy and this in fact
was the only time in the game that the men in green led in the contest.
The first half was somewhat competitive but the Dohenys conceded too many frees
& were punished time and time again. Kilbree led at half time 0-12 to
0-07. Dohenys needed a good start in the 2nd half and
similarly to the 1st half they got the opening score of the
half. However Kilbree immediately responded with a goal which killed the
game as a contest. Dohenys tried hard to break down the Kilbree rearguard
but they proved too stubborn. Kilbreen ran out comfortable winners in the
end.
