After a very hectic and tense final series of matches on Monday night last in the Fosters sponsored cups there was as said some twists and turns and also a surprise or two.
Section one of the Fosters super cup had the Joshua Tree 2 in second spot going into their final game of the series away to the Top of the Hill, who were out of the running, but also looking to qualify were defending cup champions the Groves 1 who were just 2 points off the Joshua Tree.
However the night ended in disappointment for the Groves as despite winning 11-8 against the Maple Leaf it was not to be enough with the Joshua Tree winning 13-7 away to the Top of the Hill.
Section two of the Fosters super cup still has one series of games remaining and they will be played tonight with both semifinals and final to be played on Monday night next at the Gallows with an 8.30pm start.
Tower Bar cemented their spot in the semifinal as they completed a 12-9 win at home against the Joshua Tree 1 with wins from Mick O’Brien, William Fouhy, John Leonard and Dinny Bob’s while there were wins for the Joshua Tree courtesy of Stephen Coveney, William Goulding and John Wall.
Hennessy’s came through in impressive fashion away to the Groves 2 as they ran out 16-4 winners to now set up a winner takes all battle when they welcome the Joshua Tree to Mayfield tonight in a game that has the Joshua slightly ahead with 52 points and Hennessy’s on 51.
The line up for next Monday night February 19 at the Gallows will see the Tower Bar play Joshua Tree 2 while the Harp will tog out against the winners of tonight’s Hennessy’s v Joshua Tree encounter.
The Tom Lynch junior cup has also reached the semifinal and final stage and they will be played tonight at the Barrack Street venue.
Ma Dullea’s topped section 1 of the Tom Lynch cup followed in second qualifying position by Aunties and over in section 2 it was Carrigaline GAA who topped the section and they were followed home by the Glenryan Tavern.
The line-up at Tom Lynch’s tonight has Ma Dulleas playing the Glenryan and Carrigaline GAA playing Aunties.
All four semifinalists must be present at the venue no later than 8.15 for cards with both semifinals. to get underway at 8.30pm sharp and any team not present at the appointed time will be scratched.
