Report by Willie Egan
First round of Go-Games started on Saturday morning 25 July 2015, GBC travelled to Young Ireland’s GAA grounds with weather conditions perfect for hurling. These two teams were well matched in the first half. Gowran opened the scoring early with a goal, Gowran dominated early exchanges and were two goals up after 7-8 mins. GBC got more into the game and were rewarded with a well taken goal by Tom Brennan. Gowran responded with a point (2-1) – (1-0). Playing on the half back line Billy Egan collected the ball went down the pitch and scored a excellent goal. On the half-time whistle GBC were down 2pts (3-3)-(3-1) GBC looked in a good position to take the win.
As they say, a game of two half’s, GBC only scored 1-1 in this half, this was never going to be good enough against a strong determined Gowran side, Gowran running out easy winners at the final whistle. GBC had good performances in Conor Walton, Patrick Foley, Billy Dowling, Jack Butler & Eoin Egan.
TEAM: Jake Acerman, Patrick Foley, Jack Butler, Billy Egan, Billy Dowling, Shane Comerford, Eoin Egan, Jack Guiry, Micheal Harrison, Finn O’Byrne, Ciaran Dowling, Conor Walton & Tom Brennan.
