Fr. Tom Burke’s 3-18 Galway 1-12
Conditions were good for the first outing of the season for
the teams. There was some good hurling
on show and some well taken scores. Tom’s
came away with a handsome win by the time all was said and done. There were some great performances throughout
from several Tom’s veterans. James
Dooley did well at corner back, Dylan Costello in the half back line, and Chris
Donoghue and Cormac Joyce-Power in the forwards. Joyce-Power made good use of the ball that
came into his corner, coming away with 10 points from play.

With Tom’s leading by six points to three in the early going,
a Gary Kelly goal solidified Tom’s advantage.
Galway responded to the goal well, scoring four points on the trot. Adam Kenny, John Coleman and David Lordan the
scorers. Tom’s, however, finished the
half well with three unanswered themselves.
Dylan Costello probably with the pick of the bunch from inside his own
half. Tom’s 1-11 Galway 0-8 at the
break.
The second half saw Tom’s pull away. The all-important first 10 minutes after the
restart went to Tom’s. Four balls into
Joyce-Power’s corner and the four more points for the Limerickman. Adam Kenny stemmed the tide for Galway with a
desperately needed score, but the final quarter saw Tom’s add two more
goals. Shane Dooey, who was set up by
Joyce-Power, and Shane Ryan capitalized on their chances. A couple of scuffles flared up in the latter
stages, but were handled well by referee Jimmy Rigney. Adam Kenny netted late for Galway to improve
the look of things on the scoreboard.
