Senior Hurling

Championship

On Sunday the 13thof April, Ballina played

their first game in the 2014 Tipperary Senior

Hurling Championship. This was new ground forthe club as very few if any can remember the last

time Ballina played at Senior Championship level.

If the competition was unfamiliar, the

opposition & venue were anything but strange.

MacDonagh Park, Nenagh was the venue, while

Borrisokane provided the opposition. The sides last

met in Championship hurling in the 2010 North

Intermediate Competition. Ballina won on that

occasion, but Borrisokane went on to win the

county championship.

Ballina started with the wind & were 1-5 to

0-2 ahead by the stage. At half-time the lead had

grown to 2-10 to 0-6. Ballina were well deserving of

this half-time advantage, but expected a battle from

Borris in the second-half.

The first 20 minutes of the second half saw

Ballina outscore their opponents by 4 points to 3.

Ballinas only added one more point over the closing

10 minutes while Borrisokane raised 3-more white

flags. In the end Ballina won by 2-15 to 0-12.

Ballina Team:Martin McKeogh; Brian McKeogh,Patrick Cosgrove, Donal Kent; Aidan Hanley,Thomas Collins, Kevin Cosgrove (Captain); StephenOBrien, Fergal Collins; Sean McKeogh, BrianStritch, Stephen Stritch; T.J. OConnell, MichaelBreen, David Hickey. Subs used:Eoin Sheehy;Conor Maguire & Ronan Bourke.

On Sunday evening in Clonmel, Mullinahonebeat Ballingarry by 1-point in the other game in the

group. Final Score: C.J. Kickhams Mullinahone 1-11,Ballingarry 3-04.

Ballinas next game is against Mullinahone &this will probably be the weekend of 3rd/4thor10th/11thMay.

Shortly after that, Ballina will take onSilvermines in Round 1 of the Hibernian Inn NorthTipperary Senior Hurling Championship.

Challenge Cup

Ballina played Holycross/Ballycahill in the

semi-final of the Jim Devitt Cup on Sunday 30th

March in Ballina. Again this was a close game &

could have gone either way. In the end Holycross

prevailed on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-15. Prior to

that Ballina had received a walk-over from

Mullinahone at the Quarter Final stage.

60 Seconds (well maybe a bit

longer) with...David Hickey

Ballina Intermediate Hurling Captain 2013, DavidHickey took some time out to talk with the Bal An

tha Review during the week. David also won an All-Ireland Doubles Handball title in 2013. His partneron the occasion was Fergal Collins.

David thanks for taking time to talk to the BalAn tha review.

The SHC started last weekend - how did it feel tofinally play at Senior?

It felt great to be part of the panel that became thefirst to ever represent Ballina at senior level. Itssomething that this group of players and

management feel privileged and honoured to havedone, not just for themselves but for the whole club.Playing at senior level is where our club deserves tobe and hopefully will be successful for many years tocome.

The County Championship also includesBallingarry & Mullinahone in the group, while itsSilvermines in the North Championship. What doye know about the two southern teams?

We know they will be very tough games and we willtreat them with the respect they deserve but we wont

fear them.

How is training going this year?

Training is going well this year. We were caught fornumbers a bit at the start of the year but it has really

picked up in the last few weeks. The managementare top class and they are doing everything they canto ensure we are at our best for championship

You got the chance to lift the North & County IHCCups last year - did it put any extra pressure onyourself as captain?

No not really. The pressure I feel most is probablythe pressure I put on myself. I would always putpressure on myself to do the best for the team. I was

just representing a very dedicated and motivatedbunch of guys who have a great desire to besuccessful for their club. It makes the role of captaina lot easier when this is the case.

Was there any particular games that stood outlast year & why?

The semi-final (V Aherlow). A very tough game andone which seemed to galvanise the whole teambecause of the manner of the victory.
