Weekend Round Up - 21st/22nd March 2009

The Senior Hurlers were first into action over the weekend with their opening game of the Clare Cup. Tulla had home advantage on this occasion and Kevin Walshe was the referee. The game started at 2pm and Tulla were first on the scoreboard. When Paudie Collins pointed two frees the teams were level. Newmarket took the lead with the next score and remained in front for the duration of the game. Paudie Collins took a sideline ball and it went all the way to the back of the Tulla net. Eoin McInerney and Dominic McMahon added to the tally with a point each from play. Andrew Quinn and Paudie Collins exchanged frees before Stephen Kelly scored a goal. Further points from Dominic, Sean Arthur and two from David Barrett left the score 2-10 to 0-7 at half time. Tulla, aided by the breeze, began to narrow the gap quickly with two pointed frees and Mike Murphy's flick saw the ball to the Newmarket net. Sean Arthur scored a third goal before Tulla outscored Newmarket 5 points to 1. The score was 3-12 to 1-14 with only ten minutes left. Newmarket finished the stronger side adding 4 more points to their total when Tulla could only manage 2 points.Final Score: N-on-F: 3-16 Tulla 1-16
