Club Notes 21st September

Junior Football
Well done to our Junior A footballers who have qualified for the Club’s first ever county Junior A football semi final after a 3-7 to 2-7 win over Athea last Saturday. On what was a balmy Saturday evening in Knockaderry, we got off to a dreadful start and went 2-3 to 0-1 down after just 12 minutes. However, we were awarded a penalty on 15 minutes which Richard Murphy coolly dispatched to the net to bring us back into the game.
Some fine points from Mike McCormack and Gary O’Connell saw us cut the deficit even further to go in at half time 2-4 to 1-4 down. A fantastic solo goal by Tomás Connolly 10 minutes after the restart and converted frees from Richard Murphy soon after saw us take the lead for the first time as the score read 2-7 to 2-5 at the second water break.
A rocket of a shot from Gary O’Connell into the top corner after the restart saw us up by 5 points with the game coming down the home straight but despite two late Athea points, they failed to get the goal they needed to draw the game and we ran out 3-7 to 2-7 winners.
Special mention must go to Tim and Evan Moloney, Patrick Dolphin and Dom O’Connor in the back line for holding firm throughout, Eoghan O’Connor in goal who pulled off a fine save in the closing stages and Karl Moloney and Micheál O’Neill who put in trojan work in midfield.
Team: Eoghan O’Connor; Patrick Dolphin, Tim Moloney, David Macken; Donnacha Connolly, Evan Moloney, Darach Skelly; Karl Moloney, Micheál O’Neill; Richard Murphy, Cormac Flanagan, Tomás Connolly; Conor Burke, Mike McCormack, Gary O’Connell. Dom O’Connor, Conor Kirby, Killian Scanlon, Shane O’Connor, Tom Shanahan, Jack Dalton, Cian Leahy, Rob Greer, Adam Galvin, Sam Riordan.

Junior A County semi Finals are being proposed as Tuesday 29th …. to be confirmed.

We wish both Darach Skelly and David Macken speedy recoveries from the injuries they picked up during the game.

 

Minor Football
Our Minor Footballers contested the County A quarter final last Sunday afternoon in Caherconlish against Oola. After a super start went on to lead at the break by 4-7 to 1-3.
Some supurb link up play in the forwards led to classy scores with great contributions from the half back and midfield lines. With the evening getting warmer and lads getting tired, we took the foot off the pedal in the second half and allowed a persistent Oola team back into the contest and they brought it to a 3 point game with 5 mins remaining. A great turnover ball from our backs was worked up the field and great link up play in the forwards got us a deserved goal to put the game out of Oola’s reach and put us into the County Semi Final on a final score of 6-8 to Oola 3-11.
Credit to all 21 players who togged out this afternoon and to the management team also. The work ethic and belief of this team will bring them a long way and they will be a force to reckon with in the semis.

Team: Luke Buckley; Ronan Kirby, Patrick Dolphin, Alex O’Doherty; Ben Garry, Stephen Noonan, Ben O’Donoghue; Chris Shanahan, Patrick O’Donnell; Rian O’Byrne (1-1), Eoghan O’Connor; Ciaran Kennedy (0-1), Rory Hannan (1-2), Adam Godfrey (1-1); Sean Lavan, Ryan Godfrey, Edward McGrath, Fergal Egan, Arthur O’Donnell, Darragh Godfrey, Darragh Casserly, Stephen Willis.
