Youghal show no mercy to Tracton

A vastly superior Youghal outfit inflicted a humiliating defeat on Tracton in this one-sided Premier IHC meeting at Caherlag on Saturday.

It was a relief to all in attendance that there was no repeat of the fighting which marred last year’s encounter between these two sides, however the game provided little in the way of edge-of-the-seat entertainment as Youghal dominated throughout.

Playing with the strong breeze, Youghal hit top gear from the first whistle and by half-time they had racked up a 2-11 to 0-2 lead and should have been further ahead, having registered eight wides.
