Ballinascarthy, 19:30PM
Ibane Gaels 2-15 Kilbrittain 1-07
Ibane had a good win over a youthful Kilbrittain team in the U21B Hurling Championship. Kilbrittain had the advantage of the wind in a beautifully prepared Ballinascarthy pitch and had the opening 2 scores before Ted Kearney got Ibanes 1st score. Points from Jack Murphy and Finbarr Butler put Ibane in front and they were ahead 0-07 to 0-06 when the crucial score of the 1st half arrived via a Daniel O Driscoll goal this allowed Ibane to lead at half time 1-09 to 0-07. Ibane were well on top in the 2nd half but were wayward in their shooting and missed a few chances to put the game beyond Kilbrittain, still by the 40th minute they led by 1-11 to 0-07 when Kilbrittain got a soft goal to put them back in the game at 1-11 to 1-07. However from there to the end Ibane seized control and points from Mark Crowley and a great goal from Jack Murphy gave them the win by 2-15 to 1-07. It puts Ibane in the semi-final where they know they will have to improve considerably to have a hope of beating the winners of Clon/Dohenys.
