Under 21 B Football Championship

Gort na Móna 2-12 Glenavy 0-10

A strong second half in which they scored two goals and six points saw Gort na Móna get the better of Glenavy in Sunday’s Under 21 Hurling Championship game at Enright Park. Visitors Glenavy had done well in the opening half and led by 0-08 to 0-05 at half time but the home side dominated after the break and were deserving winners in the end.

Manus McMullan put the Gorts ahead with a point in the second minute but Finn Jack Shannon levelled for Glenavy six minutes later. A two pointer from Gorts centre forward Tarlach Enright put his team two clear but Glenavy came back strong and two points from Leon Laverty and a 2pointer from a Darragh Brown free put them three ahead. Daire Keenan pulled on back for Gort na Móna but three in a row from Laverty saw the visitors lead by double scores, before Enright pulled on back for the home side to leave them trailing by 0-05 to 0-08 at the interval.

Rian Brown and Matthew McDonnell got the first two points of the second half for the Gorts to bring them back to within one but Laverty pushed the Glenavy lead out to two by the forty second minute. Three minutes later the game changed completely when Matthew McDonnell got in for a goal for the home side which saw them take control. Points followed from Daire Keegan and Daithi MacEoghan to push them four ahead and though Lavery brought it back to three with a Glenavy point, that was to be the visitors final score and the Gorts finished with a goal and a point to book their place in the semi-final.
