U14: Belfast Star 54 Queens 24 

19/9/2016

 
Star welcomed cross town rivals Queens to The Gaaden and, encouraged by a very good performance from the U16 team, were determined to keep their undefeated record intact. 

A great defensive effort from Mattie Mulholland to keep talented school mate Cormac O'Rourke quiet offset a slow start at the offensive end. 


Some excellent unselfish play led to some good opportunities but few scores.....11-4 at the end of the lowest scoring quarter all year but crucially only gave up 4 points. The second quarter unit were spurred on by Conor 'Uptempo' Ryan and Conn 'Rebound' Doherty, but Liam Brady was also outstanding at both ends of the floor. Star led 21-7 at the short hooter. Queens got an outstanding performance from K Connolly who hurt Star inside and in typical Queens fashion they kept competing hard. However, Star's strength in depth saw Paddy Doran, Niall Hurson, and Ronan O'Neill all make significant contributions at the defensive end. Conn Doherty led the team with 10 points with Mattie Mulholland on 8. K Connolly led all scorers with 14 for Queens.
