Bantry Blues Junior Bs season came to a successful end Sunday afternoon when they travelled to Kealkil to play Garnish in the #dublinercheese Carbery Beara Div 4 Senior League Final. In tough conditions it took a bit of time for the Blues to find their stride but once the Blues started moving the ball quickly to their forwards, the scores started to happen. Matthew Barry opened the scoring with a well worked point before Tim Foley put in a classic display of scoring and putting 1:03 on the board in a six minute master class abely assisted by his fellow forwards Noah Cronin, Liam Coakley & Timmy OBrien. Not to be outdone, young Owen ONeill struck 1:02 points in the half with wing back Ted Wiseman scoring a cracking point from the left wing. At the short whistle the blues were well in command on a score line of 2:07 to 0:04, however they would now be playing into a stiff wind for the second half. The Garnish boys struck first but Young ONeill wasn’t finished & popped two more over. To add to his great defensive work at centre back, Killian oSullivan drove forward to pop one over. Garnish were now on the hunt for goals but with Team captain Cathal McCarthy & Kenneth Deane in superb defensive form very little was pressuring Danny Murray in goals until Garnish found one small gap only to be denied by a brilliant near post save by Danny. Trojan defensive work in the last quarter was done by the half back line of Ted Wiseman, Killian OSullivan & Ruairi OShea, with the midfield pairing of James Crowley & Patrick Goggin covering every blade to grass to defend and attack for their team.
