Midleton’s three-goal blitz blows brave Hamilton High School away
Stamping their authority from early on, three goals in the second quarter from Josh Beausang, John Looney and Jack McDonald set Midleton on their way. It was Hamilton High’s third consecutive defeat in this group and they have one more game remaining against Blackwater CS. To their credit, despite shipping big defeats in each game, they remained competitive to the end. In this encounter the writing was on the wall after 15 minutes when Midleton led 2-3 to 0-1.
Playing with the strong wind, Josh Beausang was the tormentor in chief hitting 1-3 — Looney’s deft flick providing the chance for the goal. Looney then bagged a green flag of his own, latching on to a long delivery from wing-back Dan Harrington. Meanwhile, corner-forward Ben Murray was kept busy as a sweeper for Hamilton High but paid the price up front where their options were reduced.
