Congratulations to the Under 15 boys team on joining the Senior Boys team in the last 8 of the Nationals. Having beaten St Columbas by 22 points in the home leg of a two game play off, we only needed to avoid defeat to progress. As with the first game, we started extremely well, leading 22 - 8 after the first quarter. With only 7 players available our aim was to maintain our lead, and with some controlled offence and good team defence we kept at least 10 points difference as we entered the last quarter. We started the fourth quarter strongly and pulled away, winning the quarter by 9 points and the game 65 - 47. A special mention should go to Ben Hackwood and Joe O'Shea who stepped up to play a year out of age, and played very well. The squad should be extremely proud of their performance tonight and I look forward to seeing how far we can now progress in the competition.
MAN OF THE MATCH: JAMIE MORONEY
