Bennett the ace as Blackwater record historic win

MUNSTER COLLEGES hurling history was created at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, yesterday when Blackwater Community School won the Dean Ryan Cup (U16½ hurling championship) for the time in their history after a tough contest. The sides slogged it out over the hour and while the standard of hurling didn’t always measure up to expectations, the intensity of the game never flagged as the rivals battled to the final whistle.

Centre forward Stephen Bennett was the star man on show, hitting all but one of the victor’s tally. The all-round play of the Waterford minor was inspirational and in the tension-filled finish he was deep in his own defence, helping ensure that his side successfully held on to its narrow lead.
