Oulart-the-Ballagh (Wexford) 0-16
Clonkill (Westmeath) 0-8
SIX TIMES THE bridesmaids but not yet the bride, Oulart-the-Ballagh have earned another chance to end their Leinster hurling hoodoo.
The Wexford champions beat Clonkill of Westmeath by eight points today to set up a provincial decider against Cuala on 29 November.
Oulart — who have been beaten in four of the last five Leinster finals — took full advantage of the Mullingar wind and led by 0-11 to 0-3 at half-time.
David Redmond, Rory Jacob and Des Mythen scored early points as the visitors took a0-3 to 0-2 lead before holding Clonkill scoreless for 25 minutes.
The closest that Clonkill came to a revival was when Anthony Price reeled off three unanswered scores but that was only good enough to cut the gap to six.
Corner-back Shane Power was shown a straight red late on to complete a miserable day for Clonkill.
North Kildare socks please Dev
@kieran horgan: ….yeah, not the worst colours ever put together
Great to see an Irish presence in the squad this week . Last week was the French barbarians.
Great to see Adam Byrne get a shot , Leinster didn’t do him any favours the last while with game time , hopefully he kicks on in Connacht next season
@Michael Uzice: he’s been injured on and off for a long time.
@Michael Uzice: He’s always injured plus he’s had some very good wingers ahead of him James Lowe, Jordan Larmour, Jimmy O’Brien, Rory O’Loughlin who have all been fit
@Chris Mc: granted he has had his injury set backs but a great player when fit Chris .
@Harry O’Callaghan: I’m not disputing who’s ahead of him in pecking order all I’m pointing out is that Leinster management didnt give him much game time lately and he was not injured .
No funny business out of number 1 hopefully!
“Can I play Fly half?”
“Sure, Devin. Sure.”
