Hazelwood College Win Munster Hurling Quarter Final

Hazelwood College Win Munster Hurling Quarter Final

Hazelwood College : 4-13
Abbeyfeale: 2-11

Hazelwood College recently met Abbeyfeale in a hard fought Munster B Hurling Final. This match was exceptional both in the standard of Hurling from both sides and in its intensity. The first 10 minutes was end-to-end stuff with both sides exchanging some fine points. Abbeyfeale looked to have some control until Hazelwood burst back with two goals from Pat Quaid before half time. The mid way score was 2-4 to 1-5 in favour of the Dromcollogher side. Hazelwood College dominated in the second half but failed to make this pressure count and with only ten minutes to go had a narrow two point lead. At this point Hazelwood took control with some excellent goals first from Jamie Coughlan, then from Aidan Butler who hit a purple patch scoring 1-4 in the last ten minutes. It was an excellent performance both in terms of skill and effort with 100% given by all players in this fiercely competitive match.
