Central 1 – Fri 17th April V The Glen in Riverstown
Sars played the second Central League game against the Glen in Riverstown on the 17th April. In contrast to previous matches Sars were quick enough out of the blocks and competed well in the first 10mins. The Glen gained control for about the next 15mins but very hard work and a well taken fortuitous goal by Colin O’Mahony kept Sars in the match on a half time scoreline of 0-5 to 1-1. The Glen started the second half strongly and struck for a goal early on but in fairness to Sars they knuckled down and scored 3-2 in the final quarter to win by 5 points with the final score of 4-3 to 1-7. The second half goals came from Daniel Hogan, Rory O’Brien and Cathal McCarthy while Olan Kelleher at left-half back was prominant through out.

Central 1 – Wed 1st April V Midelton in Midelton
Sars opened the Central League campaign against Midelton in Midelton main pitch. Sars played against a stiff breeze in the first half but importantly we allowed Midelton to have the better start – which is a habit that this team needs to break – and found ourselves 1-2 behind after the first 5 minutes. But in fairness Sars fought back well and were behind 2-6 to 0-5 at half time. Four of the Midelton points came from frees in the first half while Sars failed to capitalise on the possession that the forwards won. Sars conceded only 2 points in the second half and that was in the first 5 minutes but we failed to take some chances at the other end and only scored 3 points in the second half. The match ended with a win for Midelton on a scoreline of 2-8 to 0-8. The positives would include – 1) effort from about 14 of the 18 that played ; 2) hooking & blocking rate was up on the Killeagh challenge match while areas to work on include 1) 9 frees conceded in the first half (4 converted) ; 2)slow start in both halves ; 3) Midelton won about 80% of ruck ball by getting down low over the ball with a short hurley. 4)accuracy in front of goals
Overall – we competed very well and a marked improvement on the same game last year – a lot of positives but a lot work to be done.

East A – Sun 29th March V Watergrasshill in Watergrasshill
Sars U13’s had their opening League game of the year against Watergrasshill. In the same match last year Watergrasshill were by far the stronger team and we were looking for a much better effort from our lads this time around. Watergrasshill played with a very strong wind in the first half and led 2-6 to a goal by half time. Although there was a significant gap on the scoreboard, Sars tried very hard and the hooking, blocking and chasing down were very prominent in the opening 25mins. Sars continued to to work hard all around the pitch in the second half and although we had a lot more possession in front of their goals we failed to convert it into scores with the final score WGH 2-8 Sars 1-3.
