Playing against the elements in the first half St. Josephs were slow to start and Crescent hit the ground running with some very well taken scores. It could have been a lot worse during this stage opening ten minutes but Pauraic Stapleton pulled off two good saves.
Some switches on the St. Joseph’s team steadied the ship and our full forward line took their chances when they arose. After being well outplayed in the first half St.Joseph’s were very lucky to be only a point down at half time. 3-5 to 1-12.
With an increase in work rate evident very early on St. Joseph’s grabbed the initiative on the game. Kev Maher was dominating at mid field, James Kelly, Dan Ryan and Harry Young were storming into the game and the ball being played into the full forward line was much better allowing Alvis Danko, Mikey Delaney and Adam Ryan to boss the show up there.
St. Joseph’s held out in the second half to finish with a margin of four points.
1-15 to 3-13.

St. Joseph’s Senior hurlers triumph over Cobh 1-17 to 1-04
On Wednesday the 26th of October, St. Joseph’s made it two wins from two with a fine 13 victory over a physical Cobh outfit. Played in ideal conditions in Goatenbridge, St. Joseph’s were without Templederry trio Richie O’Donoghue, Conor Looby and Tim McCutcheon due to injuries, but other players stepped up to the plate, making the victory all the sweeter.

St. Joseph’s opened the scoring with a pointed Bob Delaney free after 2mins and this set the tone for the first half. Cobh found it hard to get their hands on the ball around the middle third of the pitch due to the work rate of the St. Joseph’s players. Any balls that did pass beyond the 45 were confidently dealt with by the full back line and goalie.
Coming up to half time, St. Joseph’s were still in control but Cobh were starting to find their feet and after four wides in a row they got off the mark with two quick points to leave the HT score 7-2 in favour of the Tipp side.
Hitting the ground fast was vital for Cobh but again, due to the good work from the St. Joseph’s players they were snuffed out and the game started pattering out. St. Joseph’s forwards were moving well and taking their scores when the opportunity arose’ while the midfield and backs were never far away from their men. Final score was 1-17 to 1-4.
