O’Curry’s record merited victory

O’Curry’s  1-11   Kildysart  1-7
A GOAL from Eoin Troy in the first half gave O’Curry’s the advantage in their Garry Cup tie played at Kildysart last Friday evening.

The winners led by that goal at half-time when the score was 1-5 to 0-5 and while Kildysart had a goal from Neil O’Connor in the second period, they never managed to get back on terms and the visitors held on for a merited victory.
Kildysart should have had a second goal but John Clancy saw his penalty effort comfortably saved by Ronan Clohessy.

Éire Óg  1-14   Ennistymon  1-13
IN a high-scoring tie, Éire Óg managed to hold on for a one-point win over Ennistymon and preserve their unbeaten run in this year’s competition.
The North Clare side had the better of the early exchanges and helped by a fortunate goal, following a defensive blunder by Éire Óg, they opened a good lead but the town side fought back strongly and were only a point adrift when the half-time whistle sounded.
The Ennis side dominated the third quarter and they opened a good lead but Ennistymon put in a storming last quarter, during which they scored half a dozen points without reply. However, time wasn’t on their side and the Townies held on for victory.
