U21 B Hurling Final

Sarsfields v All Saints

Tir na nOg 7-00pm

Underdogs, All Saints will be hoping to cause a major upset when they take on a strong Sarsfield’s in tonight’s U21B Hurling Final at Whitehill as they field an U21 Hurling team for only the second time in the club’s history.

The Ballymena club made their U21 debut in last week’s semi-final where two goals from Jakub Kaczmarek saw them overcome the challenge of Lamh Dhearg at Slemish Park in front of a good crowd.

They face a strong opponent tonight in Patrick Sarsfields who defeated Tir na nOg at Whitehill in the other semi-final and the Stewartstown Road club will be confident of taking the honours tonight.

Daniel Smyth was the star of the show for Sarsfields in the semi-final as they ran out 3-14 winners of a spirited Randalstown side who led 1-7 to 0-5 at the halfway stage.

Whatever happened during the half-time break, Smyth came out and put on a master class in scoring for Sarsfields as he picked up 3-06 during a second half in which Tír na nÓg just failed to get a handle on the men in green. Smyth dominated and a score looked on the cards every time he got his hands on the sliothar.

Anthony McGarrigle, Jay Ward, Fionn Jeffrey and Brian Healey were others to shine in a strong all round Sarsfields side who will go into tonight’s decider as firm favourites.

Luke Walsh, Peadar McGuckian, Harry Connon, Archie McGreevey, Sean McDermott, Darach Bradley and Kaczmarek will spearhead the All Saints challenge tonight but it will take everyone to be in top form if they are to cause an upset.
