Perfect 10 from TJ Reid gives Ballyhale another Kilkenny senior hurling title
Ballyhale Shamrocks 1-20
Clara 1-13
TJ REID CAPPED a thrilling year with a perfect 10 points at Nowlan Park as Ballyhale Shamrocks’ claimed a 15th Kilkenny SHC title.
Aside from two missed frees and a blocked goal attempt, Reid was virtually flawless over the hour at Nowlan Park and underlined his Hurler of the Year nominee credentials.
The captain and All-Ireland medallist with Kilkenny scored five points in both halves.
And when Clara fought back to trail by just three in the last 10 minutes, Reid stood up again with three points in a row to seal a sixth title in nine seasons.
James ‘Cha’ Fitzpatrick and Bob Aylward were excellent too and will john Cats icon Henry Shefflin for next weekend’s AIB Leinster club clash with Kilmacud Crokes.
Holders Clara, seeking back to back titles and just their third ever county success, couldn’t have asked for a better start.
They moved 1-2 to 0-1 up inside four minutes with corner-forward Chris Bolger helping himself to 1-1.
With county man Lester Ryan at midfield, they were sharp in attack and proceeded to pick off some fine points from distance.
They deserved led 1-6 to 1-4 with 16 minutes on the clock and looked in a good position to push on.
But Ballyhale came roaring into the game in the second quarter and picked off seven points in a row.
Reid was peerless and set up several scores for team-mates to propel the 2012 winners into a 1-11 to 1-6 half-time lead.
Clara didn’t score between the 16th and 32nd minutes. Keith Hogan ended the barren run with his second free after the restart.
But back to back Reid points put Ballyhale on the front foot again. They didn’t quit speed clear throughout a second-half that was more evenly contested.
In fact, Clara with free-taker Hogan on top form recovered to trail 1-16 to 1-13 with 11 minutes left.
Typically though, Reid was at the hub of a late burst to seal a fully deserved seven-point win.
