Connors and Flynns fight to a draw!

A tight, exciting finish saw Connors and Flynn's share the spoils at Richardt Park, Sunday 17 June 2007, on a score-line of 3-6 to 4-3. There were some excellent scores produced by both sides exemplifying all that progress being made by both teams as they strive to be crowned Indy Hurling league champions for 2007. Once again, Pat Flynn's started the brighter and established an early lead with an opportunist goal by Drew Calvert. However, Connors quickly responded and brought themselves back into the game with some well-taken points from distance by Brian Church (he certainly brought his "A" game today) and a great passage of team interplay involving Kyle LaPrees, which was finished to the back of the net by Richard Connolly past Jason Crace in the Flynn's goal - who earlier had produced a stunning save to deny the same player. The second half saw Connors up their tempo, and stretch into a lead of 6 points. Flynn's dug in and clawed 3 points back when Rudy Nehrling scored a goal from distance, and with the game drawing to a close, they scrambled a goal to bring the teams level. Both sides had chances to win the game thereafter, but good defensive work from Eric Radersdorf for Flynn's and Matt Glasheen for Connors saw both teams remain level at the final whistle. So, in an effort to break the deadlock in Game #5, a rematch is set for next Sunday June 23rd. We hope all those family & friends that came to watch enjoyed the game and the refreshments afterwards.
