O'Loughlins 2-15 Lisdowney 0-09

A bright and calm, but cold, Jenkinstown was the venue for O'Loughlin Gaels u21A championship quarter final against Lisdowney on Sunday afternoon. The O'Loughlins boys, bouyed up no doubt by the Minors success a week earlier, came through this encounter successfully after a very stiff first half challenge from Lisdowney. In truth however O'Loughlins dominated much of the game and were worthy of their final scoring advantage. 

Lisdowney started well going 2 points up after 4mins through their centre-forward and free taker Michael Kenny, who was probably Lisdowneys best player on the day. However good work from Daniel O'Connor and Ross Butler up front assisted Danny Lenihan in getting O'Loughlins first score on the 5th minute. This was quickly followed up by three quick scores from Daniel O'Connor whose workrate was telling and was proving to be a handful for the lisdowney defence. A goal and two points from Doc was quickly followed up by a well struck Shane Maher free earned by the industrious Davey Bourke. Lisdowney did get a point back when a shot on goal was superbly deflected over the bar by the very alert goalkeeping of Billy Leydon. O'Loughlins had by now got a firm grip on the game but Lisdowney freetaker Michael Kenny was keeping his team in with three more post splitting frees and a further point from play. However O'Loughlins dominance in midfield was proving to be the key factor of this first half. Fearghal Browne got himself on the score sheet and immediately from the puck out O'Loughlins intent was signalled by a superb catch from Davey Bourke who was hauled down by his marker for an O'Loughlins free. Quick thinking saw a short diagonal free aimed at Robbie Buckley who had cleverly ghosted to the wing and hit a superb point off his left to see O'Loughlins finish the half 1-08 to 0-07 in front.

The second half got underway with a blistering start from O'Loughlins with Ross Butler pointing and Daniel O'Conner reaping the maximum rewards by taking on the defence and hitting the net yet again. The writing was now on the wall after just two minutes of this second half. The dominance of O'Loughlins at midfield was further enhanced by 3 points from play by James Lenihan and 1 from Davey Bourke. Doc finished his total tally of 2-3 with a point before before the game was out. This was a good performance overall by O'Loughlins who move now to the semi-final stages of this competition with a good awareness of what they need to do to advance to the final.

O'Loughlins: Billy Leydon, Gary Bryan, Huw Lawlor, Shane Parsons, Vinny Wallace, Paddy Deegan, Robbie Buckley 0-1, James Lenihan 0-3, Davey Bourke 0-1, Ross Butler 0-1, Danny Lenihan 0-1, Fearghal Brennan 0-1, Shane Maher 0-4(fs), Daniel O'Connor 2-3, Danny Bolger. Sub's: D. O'Driscoll, Jack Lalor,  Cian Loy, Paul Denieffe,  Sheamie McGrath.

Management Team: Joe Nolan,Jimmy Comerford, Andy Comerford, Maurice Nolan, Paul Cleere.
