Hazelwood College Teams at the top of their Game.

This week saw Hazelwood Colleges sports teams at the top of their game as they took to the field in Football, Hurling and Camogie. The Junior Camogie team got their season off to a winning start beating Templemore on a scoreline of 1-2 to 0-2. Hazelwood College, led by captain Joanne O Gorman, were runners-up in last years Munster Championship and were determined to build on last years success. The girls battled a tough opposition and difficult weather conditions to earn a well deserved victory.

Next up was the Junior Ladies Football team who took on Abbeyfeale in a bid to retain last years title. Hazelwood College enjoyed a great win with a score of 6-10 to 4-10. Top scorers on the day were Clodagh Reidy and Joanne O Gorman. A number of first year players had joined the team for the first time and settled well in to the side.

The Boys U14 football team were in action against Askeaton and won 1-8 to 2-3. The defense and goal keeper Conor Buckley worked hard to keep Askeatons score to 0-2 in the first half. In the second half Darren Coleman, Padraig Cunningham and James Barrett put in great performances and allowed Hazelwood to pull ahead and record a good victory.

The final matches of the week saw both First Year Hurling teams meet two teams from Ard Scoil Ris in Limerick. Hazelwood A were unlucky to be beaten by just one point despite great performances from Michael Nolan, Sean Watson, Barry Bresnihan and Kieth Lacey. Hazelwood B had a substantial victory over Ard Scoil Ris B. The final score of 5-3 to 1-2 reflected Hazelwoods dominance from early in the game helped by some exceptional performances by Kevin Noonan, Gary Hanley and Patrick Finn. This was a great week for sport at Hazelwood College, well done to all involved.
