Glenville Notes (30th Jul)
- Jul 30,2024
Last minute one-point Championship loss for Glenville
Glenville 1-10
Cullen 0-14
A last minute point by Cullen saw Glenville’s Premier Juniors lose their opening Championship match by the narrowest of margins in Doneraile on Saturday.
Cullen started well and opened with two points in the first three minutes before Ciaran O’Leary opened the Glenville account with a well struck goal in the fourth minute. Cullen struck back quickly with four unanswered points before Ciaran O’Leary and Eddie Delahunt got a point each in three minutes to bring it back to a one-point game in the 19th minute. Cullen continued to push hard putting up another three points with Ciaran O’Leary adding another Glenville point to see Glenville trail at half-time by three points on a scoreline of 1-3 to 0-9.
Glenville regrouped during the break and got into the game from the half-time throw-in and in six minutes, scored four points in a row without reply (two by Ciaran O’Leary and a point each from Liam Foley and Josh Cooke). With 36 minutes on the clock, Glenville had a one-point advantage and from here to the final whistle on the 64th minute, it remained a one-point game with Glenville and Cullen each scoring a point after each other (two more points from Josh Cooke and another Ciaran O’Leary point). All square at 59 minutes with both sides adding four points each, both sides pushed for the winner and with three minutes of added time played, Cullen got the final point of the game to see them win by the narrowest of margins on a scoreline of 1-10 to 0-11.
Glenville did a superb job in defence and will rue their slow scoring start but will learn a lot from this game for their next Championship match against Ballydesmond.

Credit to our lads from the minute the ball was thrown in they did what was asked of them and after a very competitive
