2022 Co-Op Superstores Cork Premier Junior Hurling Championship Final Ballygiblin v Tracton

The Co-Op Superstores Cork Premier Junior Hurling Championship Final takes place this Saturday 15th October at 5:00pm, in what will be a first Championship meeting between Ballygiblin and Tracton.

Ballygiblin came through the Group stages with three wins out of three over Dripsey, Ballygarvan and Argideen Rangers. The impressive performances during the Group stages allowed for a safe passage straight to the Semi Final where they met Russell Rovers in what was a thriller with the sides level on 10 occasions by the end of normal time. Joseph O’Sullivan and Darragh Flynn were key to Ballygiblin with some inspired performances during the Semi Final, and the defence were very solid over the entire game. Last year’s Junior A winners will be hoping to build on their recent success and join the Intermediate A grade for the first time in their history for 2023.

Meanwhile, Tracton picked up two wins out of three in their journey through Group stages. Their final group game match saw them fighting for top spot with Russell Rovers, only to miss out by a margin of 5 points. This booked their place in the Quarter Finals where they faced a hard-working Milford side. Tracton were made to work extremely hard due to the enormous pressure from Milford in the second half, but two goals from Ronan Walsh saw Tracton through to the Semi Finals. Tracton then faced off against a spirited Kilbrittain side in the Semi Final with both sides leaving everything on the field, with the teams level on 15 occasions. It was again Ronan Walsh, who scored 1-12 for Tracton to help them outlast Kilbrittain and book their place in the Final. Tracton have had experience at Intermediate and Premier Intermediate grades in the past, and they will be striving to make it back to the Intermediate A grade for 2023.

The referee for the game will be William Wallace (Aghada).
