July 12th seen the Kevin Barry's take on the Young Irelanders in the first game of the NACB Tournament. Both teams fielded strong line-up's that had a new look. Comming in for their Barry's debut this season were Colm "Colly" Doris, Eugene Martin, PJ Lavery, Mark Tierney and Patrick "Deuce" Doris. The Game started very brightly for the Barry's and they sooned opened the scoring through a well taken point by Daniel McCloy. The Barry's kept the pressure on and increased their commanding lead through scores from half forwards Petey McElhill and "Wee" Dave McCarthy. Patrick "Deuce" Doris then slotted over a fine free and the Barry's were now up by 4 points. Young Irelanders battled hard and tempers began to flare midway through the first half and a few heated exchanges ensued. The Barry's continued to take the game to the Irelanders and the defensive performances of Benny Landers, Danny Clark and Brendan Trainor continued to frustrate the opposition.
A Young Irelanders goal midway through the first half sparked them into life and they started a spirited fightback with a few well taken scores, but the Barrys held firm and continued to plug away. Patsy Quinn slotted in 2 fine goals and points from Colly Doris, "Wee" Dave McCarthy and Patrick "Deuce" Doris really put the Barry's in a commanding position going into half-time. The second half was a more quiet affair with a lot of fouls being commited by both teams. Young Irelanders were able to add a couple of more points to their tally but they never really threatened the Barry's big lead. Second half scores from Deuce Doris, Patsy Quinn, Bobby Ray and Daniel McCloy saw the Barry's run out easy winners in the end.
Final Score:
Kevin Bary's: (2-12)
Young Irelanders: (1-4)
Barry's Scorer's: Daniel McCloy (0-2), Peter McElhill (0-2), Patsy Quinn (2-0) "Wee" Dave McCarty (0-2), Patrick "Deuce" Doris (0-4), Colly Doris (0-1), Bobby Ray (0-1)
