County Title for Hazelwood College
Hazelwood College: 2-14
Desmond College : 1-7
Hazelwood College defeated Desmond College, Newcastlewest in the Co. Limerick VEC U16 Hurling Final last Tuesday in Dromcollogher. While the ten point win was fully deserved, the game was a hard fought struggle right to the end. The margin of victory reflected Hazelwoods ability to take scores particularly through Jamie Coughlan who was once again excellent.
Newcastlewest opened the scoring and were clearly up for the game leading by two points after ten minutes before Jamie Coughlan steadied the ship with an excellent 70 yard free. Hazelwood then took over scoring seven points on the trot through Jamie Coughlan (twice), John Nix, Padraig Nolan (three times) and Padraig Cunningham. Desmond rallied back with a goal and a point but Hazelwood responded with a goal of their own through Padraig Nolan who at centre-forward was probably the best player on the pitch in the first half. At the half time whistle Hazelwood College were leading by eight points.
The second half was more of the same with both sides putting in 100% effort. However every time Desmond looked like they were closing the gap Hazelwood popped over a free to keep them at bay. Particularly prominent was Jamie Coughlan with four points. Seamus Sheehan scored a lovely goal and John Nix chipped in another two points before the finish. All that was left was the formalities and Jimmy O Sullivan obliged, thanking all those who were involved with the panel over the year.

Hazelwood College 3-12
Colaiste Chiarain,Croom 1-9
Hazelwood College had a nine point win over Croom in the Limerick VEC, U/16 Co. quarter finals in Feenagh last Thursday. In a hard fought encounter, Hazelwood just about had the balance of it over the hour. Despite conceding a point almost from the throw in, Hazelwood had the better start scoring two goals inside the opening five minutes both from excellent corner forward Seamus O’ Sullivan. Hazelwood enjoyed an extended spell of dominance adding a further goal through Jimmy o’ Sullivan and five more points, three from Jamie Coughlan frees and one each from John Nix and Jimmy O’Sullivan. The last ten minutes of the first half belonged to croom though rattling in a goal as well as two well taken points to leave seven between them at half time to leave the score 3-5 to 1-3 in favour of Hazelwood. The second half was tit for tat affair with Hazelwood although playing with the breeze not stretching away. Croom continued to pile on the pressure but Hazelwood’s ability to pick off their points, notably Keith Lacey who was on for the last fifteen minutes scoring two, saw them safely through to the semi-finals where they now face Askeaton.

Hazelwood College: 2-8
St Patricks: 1-0
Despite the harsh weather conditions, the Hazelwood college camogie team displayed a gutsy performance to find victory over St. Patricks, Cork City. The first fifteen minutes saw an extremely close contest with no score. The Hazelwood forwards put the St. Pats backs under extreme pressure and were unlucky not to score sooner. The game burst into life when Siobhan Enright placed a bullet into the left corner of the net leaving the Cork city goalkeeper with no chance. From here Hazelwood displayed their skill and fitness and began to dominate the first half. The second-half was a close run affair and followed a similar pattern to the first with Hazelwood dominating the early exchanges only for St. Pats to rally back. A late goal from St. Pat’s gave the school a new lease of life and the Hazelwood backs were put under enormous pressure. Sinead Kiely was simply outstanding and make many fine clearances from the full back line. Joanne O’ Gorman’s Trojan work at midfield didn’t go unrewarded scoring four points during the game and reeked havoc in all positions in the field for St. Patricks. Niamh Cagney showed what a true hurler she is and terrorised the backs throughout the game. Great performances from every player on the field were displayed and ensured that Hazelwood cruised to their first ever Camogie Munster title.
Team: Marie Galvin. Niamh O’ Brien, Ciara Meaney, Sinead Kiely (Capt), Emma Browne, Clodagh Reidy, Joanne O Gorman(0-4), Jamie O’ Leary, Siobhan Enright (1-4), Niamh Cagney (1-0), Mairead Geary, Katie Dillane
