Crumlins O’Toole Park was the venue for the Junior Hurling Championship semi final between the Barrs and Civil Service Hurling.
On a bright sunny Sunday morning everything was set up for a great game. The first half was a deserter for the Barrs as they went in at half time trailing by nine points. Things didn’t look much better half way through the second half when the Roy of the Rovers of Finbarrs, Big Gosie, was introduced with 12 minutes left.
The big man banged in two great goals to put the Barrs two points up with four minutes injury time remaining. The Civil Service brought the margin back to a point when Dathi Forgarty got a great point to put the Barrs up with time up.
In one last attack the Civil Service got a goal to win the match by a point. It was heart breaking for the lads who showed such great spirit and effort to get back into the game.
Well done to the management and team who have done the club proud and put in great work this year.
