Thrilling Extra-Time Victory for Millstreet CS Senior Hurlers
Millstreet Community School’s Senior Hurlers produced a memorable performance on the Station Road pitches on Tuesday, defeating Carrignavar on a scoreline of 6-20 to 2-28 after extra time in the Cork Post Primary Schools County Championship.
Played in ideal conditions, the match had everything — intensity, skill, and heart. Millstreet battled right to the final whistle in a never-say-die display, needing a last-gasp goal in injury time to force extra time. From there, they showed immense character and composure to pull clear and seal a remarkable victory.
Captain Christopher Byrnes led his side superbly from the centre of the field, while Ronan Corcoran and Stephen O’Mahony turned in outstanding performances to help drive the team over the line. However, it was almost unfair to single out individuals, such was the collective work rate and determination shown by each of the 20 players who featured in this epic encounter.
A huge thank you to John O’Riordan and the Millstreet Camogie Club for making the Station Road pitches available in top-class condition.
Up next for M.C.S is the Munster Championship, where they will face St. Colman’s of Midleton in what promises to be another thrilling challenge.
A proud day for the school, the players, and the entire community —
