CBS Ennis 3-2 – Clarecastle NS 2-2 at Cusack Park, Ennis
A DRESS rehearsal for the main event and an opportunity for future stars to play in Clare headquarters as the CBS and Clarecastle locked horns for the first of two deciders on Wednesday afternoon. And in the end, it was the Ennis school that edged the contest in the proverbial game of two halves.
Clarecastle had the conditions at their backs for the opening half and used it to build up a 2-2 to 0-0 lead, with Darragh Healy scoring 1-1, Kelan Browne grabbing the second goal while Stephen Gilroy also got in on the scoring action. Others to impress included Liam Halpin, Oisin Casey, Mark O’Loughlin and Ronan Donnelly.
However, eight wides from the Magpies and a goal in reply by CBS’ Johny Ryan just before the break would prove to be crucial as the game became more congested in the second period.
Another 1-1 from Ryan and a further strike from Paul Tuohy put the CBS into the driving seat and with Colm McGrath pulling the strings, they held on for victory.
