Antrim Hurling League Division 2

Cushendun Emmet’s 2-16 Bredagh 0-17

Aidan Corbett’s conversion from gamekeeper to poacher continued on Saturday when he scored his fourth goal in two games to set up a much needed victory for the Emmets at the expense of visitors Bredagh at CushLig an Airgid. Corbett’s goal early in the second half set up the Cushendun comeback and saw them push on to earn both the points.

Bredagh, who were playing with the stiff breeze at their backs in the opening quarter opened up a six point lead with seven points from play from Mel Laverty Laverty, Sean McCollum, Oran McFlynn, Ben Christie, Joe Hanrahan (2) and John Dougan, while Calum Kilgore got the home side’s point in the third minute.

The home side sprung to life on 15 minutes when Conrad McDonnell fired to the net and when Loaf McNeill, Dominic McQuillan and Conor McHugh (2) slotted over points they were back in touch with the Belast men by the time Fionntan McCotter had blown the half time whistle.

In the first minute of the second half Aidan Corbett grabbed a high ball on the edge of the Bredagh square before rounding his man and kicked the ball to the net to bring the sides level. The home side kicked on from here and went four points clear, the first one from Aidan McSparran and the other three from Loaf McNeill. Two Sean Christie points from frees for Bredagh cut the gap back to just two.

Ian Galway in the Bredagh goals pulled off a spectacular save to deny Bannon another goal, but two more points apiece from Loaf McNeill and Conor McHugh gave the Emmet’s a six point lead with just five minutes left to play. Bredagh hit back with a point from Ger Laverty and two from Ben Christie to cut the gap to just three, but the Emmet’s were not to be denied and the finished strong with points from ‘Loaf, Conrad McDonnell and Conor McHugh to seal their first home win of the season.
