Kilkenny GAA- Glenmore taste Junior B Hurling league success

Junior B Hurling League winners, Glenmore

Glenmore emerged victorious over St Lachtains, Freshford in the Junior B Hurling League Final at Larchfield.

Overall, the Southern team were the better on this occasion, led by six points at the interval, 2-10 to 0-10 and fully deserved this victory.

Two first half goals in the 17th and 19th minutes, the first from Jason Cody, and the other, an excellent individual goal from Robbie Fitzgerald, put Glenmore in control.

In fact, Glenmore could have raised a few more green flags by the interval, while a series of converted frees from Alan Rafter kept St Lachtains in touch.

To the Freshford men’s credit they took advantage of the strong wind in the new half, and when John Fitzpatrick goaled midway through, there was just a point between them.

Glenmore regrouped, and when Aaron O’Neill scored a goal from close range on 55 minutes, they were back five points clear and held on for a deserved victory.
