The Brian Dillons Junior (A) Hurling team qualified for the McCurtain Cup final with a convincing, 1-18 to 0-11, win over Douglas in the semi-final, which was played, in Douglas, on Sunday morning, 16th November, 2014. Fielding without several of their regular players, Brian Dillons produced an impressive performance, especially in the second half when they had to play twenty five minutes with only fourteen players, after Cillian Brosnan picked up a second yellow card. Brian Dillons began the game in a lackadaisical fashion ,which allowed Douglas to go two points up, one from a free,after less than two minutes play, before Maurice Carey had the opening Dillons point, after three minutes.  Douglas continued their enterprising start with two further points, one from a free, which pushed them 0-4 to 0-1  ahead, after six minutes., before John Horgan pointed a free for Brian Dillons in the seventh minute. Three points in a row,one from a free, had Douglas leading by 0-7 to 0-2, and Brian Dillons were beginning to look worried. However, for the remainder of the first half, Brian Dillons began to play with their usual authority, with their defence settling down to keep the Douglas forwards scoreless up to half-time. Three John Horgan points (two frees) and one from Cillian Brosnan had Brian Dillons trailing by the minimum, 0-6 to 0-7, with twelve minutes to go to the break. John Horgan ,with  a point from a free, brought the teams level, after twenty minutes and the same player added a beauty ,from play, which pushed Brian Dillons ahead for the first time in the game, two minutes later. Brian Dillons were firing on all cylinders, at this stage, with their defence in complete control and their forwards looking ever so dangerous. Cillian Brosnan added a point, after 24 minutes before the evergreen ,Maurice Carey, billowed the back of the net for a powerful goal, which pushed Brian Dillons ahead, 1-9 to 0-7, with five minutes remaining in the first period. Elegant midfielder, Tomas Lawrence, increased the Brian Dillons lead, with another fine point and the half -time whistle sounded soon after with Brian Dillons leading by 1-10 to 0-7.
