Ballyvarley 0-12 Ballela 2-10
The senior hurlers opened their league campaign with a home fixture against our closest rivals Ballela in a sun drenched Ballyvarley. In a nip and tuck first half Ballela led at half time with a Ballela goal being the difference .
The first 15 minutes of the second half saw Ballyvarley dominant and the match was levelled on several occasions with points being traded right up to the last seven minutes when unnecessary frees saw Ballela squeeze one ahead before a late goal sealed the win for Ballela.
Ballyvarley looked rusty especially in the Forward line and need to score more from play to make an impact this year, but there were lots of positives with 26 players stripped out and a further three out injured.
