Oisins stay unbeaten with a win against Carey

Antrim Hurling League – Division 2

Carey 2-08 Oisins 2-23

***Seanie McIntosh who scored the Oisins second goal***

Glenariffe travelled to Carey on Sunday and came away winners after a fifteen point win over the home side in Ballyvoy. In a repeat of last year’s Intermediate final the Oisins had too much for a Carey side who are still short a few regulars from last years’ side. On top from the start the Oisins found their scores much easier come by, with corner forward Alex O’Boyle dominating the scoring from frees and from play. O’Boyle hit four in a row in the first five minutes in reply to two for the Faughs from Conor McBride. The next next seven points all went to the visitors five of them from O’Boyle and two from Orrin O’Connor before Conal McGlynn broke the sequence with a pointed free from distance, and after Orrin O’Connor got his third point for the Oisins , Callum Cane came back with one for the home side. Seven ahead at this stage the visitors finished the half with points from Seanie McIntosh and Odhran Gillan to go in at the break leading by 0-13 to 0-4

***Sean McBride turns away after scroing Carey’s second goal.***

A Calum McIlwaine point at the start of the second half increased the Oisins lead to ten, but Carey hit back with point from Conal McGlynn and when Patrick Butler got in for a goal shortly after they were back in the game. Three points from Calum McIlwaine, Alex O’Boyle and Oliver Kearney pushed the gap out to eight again, before Carey found the net again, this time through full back Sean McBride, who had moved up to the edge of the square. Shea Hunter added a point from out on the wing and suddenly the gap looked manageable, but the Oisins hit back right away with a well struck goal from Michael O’Boyle and three more points, two of them from Alex O’Boyle and one from his brother Michael, and when Seanie McIntosh grabbed goal number two there was no way back for the home side.
