Great Second Half delivered a 1 point Win for Bride Rovers 1-19 v Fermoy 2-15 in Minor A Hurling League.

On another beautiful and warm evening in Pairc Na Bride our Minors lined out against Fermoy in the 3rd Round of the Minor A League.

The visitors got the better start and opened the scoring with 2 fast points, they were winning a lot more of the first ball and taking their chances, we answered with a few points from play and a few frees but were struggling to get scores in the inside forward line. The visitors scored a goal mid way in the first half, but from then on it was our backs that put in hard tackles and turned over good ball in to the forwards and got on a run of scores leaving the score 1-9 to -9 for the visitors at the short whistle.

We made one change and had a good chat at half time and reminded the players that we needed to be more positive and work harder for each other, Rovers had a fantastic run of play for 15 to 20 minutes where we turned a 3 point deficit in to a 6 point lead with a good goal, we were winning the battles all over the field with some lovely points from our forwards, Fermoy scored a second goal against the run of play and both sides swapped the next few scores, Fermoy rightly had a square goal disallowed but were getting easy frees that kept them in the game, with the last few minutes of pressure on us we held out for the 1 point win. 🍊🏳
