Last Wednesday, Newmarket B.N.S. contested the Duhallow schools final against Kanturk.
The game began in a welter of excitement. Two evenly-matched, determined teams were contesting every ball. Newmarket settled quickly and played some wonderful free flowing hurling.Consequently, they scored four quickfire goals.The second half was a titanic struggle. Kanturk began to dominate physically and scored some wonderful goals. The game was all square entering the final minute.The tension was palpable as Newmarket won a last minute free. Fortunately, we scored the last minute free and won the final.
In my opinion, it was a thrilling final with a very exciting finale and great credit was due to both teams for their dogged determination.
