O'Loughlin Gaels under 14 team came up against deserving finalists Erin's own of comer in this final played in a blustery cohany . Having been given an early scare against lisdowney in the semi , these young men were not going to allow that happen again and they were the team that came out of the blocks with all guns blazing . They were first to every ball early on and took a deserving early lead with 2 cracking goals from Jamie Ryan topped up with a goal from conor heary who kept the score board ticking over with 5 further points and conor kelly knocking over a couple more.

Erin's own had beaten the village to earn their place in the final and have a never give up attitude . They recovered from the blistering pace set by o'loughlins to get a goal and go in at half time trailing but still in the game . 3:08 to 1:03

The lads knew not to fall asleep against this strong Erin's own team and the first 10 minutes of the second half yielded few scores , but excellent hurling from both teams . The breakthrough score from o'loughlin's came from David Fogarty following an excellent passage of play from star player Sean Kenny. Sean caught the ball and took on several players before unselfishly offloading to David who still had work to do and managed a skilful flick past the keeper .

That seemed to be the score to allow our lads push ahead and they finished out in style to win in convincing fashion. Captain Mickey butler lifted the trophy to rapturous and deserving applause from the big crowd.

Well done lads , it was a performance fitting for a final .

hon the boys ! The best of luck to the u14 lads who take on Erin's own of comer in the u14 Roinn A final in Conahy at 12 noon on Saturday 18th. We know they will give it their best so please come out and support the lads !

The under 14s recovered from a blistering start from lisdowney to take the honours and move on to a final that will take place in the coming weeks. A bright sunny morning saw a big crowd attend this semi final in Freshford and the young men from lisdowney started the faster . A goal and five points without reply could have been ominous for most teams but this u14 team have been through a lot together and once they get their grove it's a thing of hurling beauty .   A fine goal from young David fogerty and the teams went in with oloughlins only 3 points down . And sure enough , this fine team put themselves in front within 5 minutes of the restart and never again looked vulnerable . A strongly taken goal from conor heary put them ahead and they pushed ever onwards . They will need to start fresher the next day , but with a team that never says die you always stand a chance . Well done lads !
