Listowel Emmets 2-13, Templenoe 0-11.

An 11th hour change of venue saw Templenoe make the 2 hour trip to a cold, wet and windy Ballydonoghue for the County League round 7 clash with Listowel Emmets on Sunday. 

Templenoe played against the strong wind and driving rain in the first half. Aidan Crowley opened the scoring for Templenoe with a fine point, quickly matched by similar from Darragh Lynch.

From there to half time it was pretty much even stevens with a brief Templenoe lead being cancelled out by 2 two pointers from Emmets. Having played against the elements Templenoe were probably the happier at the short whistle with the game deadlocked at 0:06 each!

Whatever was said to Emmets at the break, had the desired effect as they got quicker to breaking ball and began direct running at Templenoe. They scored 2:07 in the half, with only Brian Crowley 0:04 and Teddy Doyle 0:01 troubling the scoreboard for the visitors. Templenoe were not helped by being turned over a number of times and some poor shot selection. As the wind dropped and the rain stopped the game concluded on a 2:13 to 0:11 scoreline.

The lack of showers at the venue did not help the mood as the cold and wet Templenoe players began the long journey home.
