UNDER STRENGTH SENIOR HURLERS FALL TO BALLYCRAN ACCURACY-

Date Filed: 08 June 2022

BALLYVARLEY 2-12 BALLYCRAN 8-23.

The reds woes began before the game even started, with regular goalkeeper, Conal Mc Nally getting injured in the pre-match warm up and was unable to take his place. The visitors took advantage of Ballyvarley’s disarray, with an opening salvo of six goals. It was an uphill struggle after that, and at times the Reds crept closer but Ballycran were always able to pick off their scores with consummate ease and great accuracy to ease to a comfortable victory. A succession of Ballyvarley wides in the last quarter could have put a different complexion on the score line, strange as it may sound there were lots of positive points from individual performances. Sometimes a gentle defeat can be a good remedy for complacency and a wee reminder that we still have some work to do to get up to championship standard. So we look to the response from the team in the weeks ahead.
