April 18th - Junior A Hurling Vs Nemo

Written by  Michael O'Mahony

PASSAGE JUNIOR A HURLERS FINALLY GOT TO PLAY THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON AGAINST A STRONG NEMO RANGERS TEAM IN TRABEG TONIGHT. PASSAGE PLAYED INTO A STRONG BREEZE IN THE FIRST HALF AND IT TOOK THEM A WHILE TO GET INTO THE GAME. NEMO GOT THE OPENING POINT IN THE FIRST MINUTE AND SCORED AGAIN IN THE THIRD BEFORE MARK HOWARD GOT PASSAGE'S FIRST POINT ON THE 6TH MINUTE.

THEN SHANE HIS BROTHER GOT A GREAT POINT IN THE 15TH MINUTE TO LEAVE IT NEMO 0-5 TO PASSSAGE 0-2. PASSAGE THEN LOST LEFT HALF BACK CIARÁN DUNNE WITH A KNEE INJURY. MARK HOWARD WHO ENDED UP WITH 8 POINTS IN TOTAL GOT 3 MORE BEFORE THE BREAK TO LEAVE IT 10 POINTS TO 5 POINTS AT HALF TIME.

PASSAGE STARTED THE SECOND HALF WITH HIGH HOPES PLAYING WITH THE BREEZE BUT NEMO UPPED THEIR GAME AND GOT THE FIRST 4 POINTS OF THE SECOND HALF. THE PASSAGE FULLBACKLINE OF ROY MAXWELL, CONOR QUIGLEY AND RICKY HIGGINS TRIED THEIR BEST AND MARK HOWARD TRIED HARD TO GET PASSAGE BACK IN IT, SCORING ANOTHER 4 POINTS, BUT NEMO SCORED SOME LONG RANGE POINTS TO RUN OUT WINNERS 0-20 TO PASSAGE 0-09. PASSAGE CAN ONLY BUT IMPROVE ON TONIGHTS PERFORMANCE AS THEY PREPARE TO TAKE ON ST VINCENTS ON THURSDAY NIGHT AWAY.
