Friday night last in Templetuohy saw our Junior A hurlers take on Thurles Sarsfields in the Mid semi-final. In a high scoring encounter Brackens got off to a flyer with early goals from Shane Doyle and Joe Bergin giving us a seven point lead. But a hat-trick of majors from the Blues in the second quarter completely changed the complexion of the game and gave them a four point interval lead. Shane Doyle from play and frees kept Brackens in touch but once the Sars got their fourth major the game was up. Brackens battled on bravely with Paddy Delaney netting but it was too late in the day and the Cathedral Town boys progressed to meet Loughmore in the final on a 4-16 to 3-13 score-line. Thanks to players and management for all your efforts during the year.
