A cracking game of hurling was on display in Round 3 of the WA Senior Hurling League as we took on Western Swans in what proved to be a high scoring and hugely entertaining contest.
Thankfully, the result went our way, with some excellent shooting and finishing helping us secure a 2-29 to 4-15 victory and another valuable two points on the board.
Credit must go to both teams. To put up a scoreline like that, particularly when both sides possess some very solid defenders, is a testament to the quality, skill and work rate on display throughout the game. For spectators, it was a fantastic advertisement for WA hurling and showed the standard that is already being set at this early stage of the season.
From our perspective, we’re delighted with the performance. The intensity and effort from every player was outstanding, and once again we saw huge contributions right across our panel. Our substitutes especially Mark Kennedy made a massive impact when introduced and helped drive the team on when it mattered most.
Aaron Brennan deserves special mention after another outstanding display at wing forward. Shane Power was equally impressive at centre forward. While some of his best work won’t appear on the scoresheet, his movement, pressure and willingness to do the hard yards created space and scoring chances throughout the game for our inside forwards.
The standout performer on the field again though was Ronan Dunphy who produced another MOTM display in midfield. His energy and skill was instrumental in helping us gain control around the middle during key periods of the match.
Further back the field, our half back line was solid throughout led by Shane McNulty. Overall, it was a strong team performance, and we’re delighted to come away with the win.
Attention now turns to Round 4, where we face St.Gabriel’s. Preparations begin this week with training on Tuesday and Thursday as we look to build on a positive start to the league campaign. If you’re still on the fence drop us a DM there’s plenty of time to get involved before championship.
Full Time:
2-29 to 4-15
