This was our first outing in the football since the Junior Cert break and things went against us from the start with the loss of our Goal keeper Paraic O’Neill after only 10 minutes with a wrist injury.
We had to put Shane O’Connell in goals instead where only a few minutes before he scored a great goal for us as a forward. Jay Mccilligan scored a point from a free our only other score in the first half but we were up against a strong breeze and a good football team in Croom who scored 3 goals and 4 points in the first half.
Our second half performance improved and scored some lovely points from play a few going close to been a goal including a penalty which just went over the bar from Jay.
Good points were scored from Paul Collins who got 2, Robert Greer also got 2, Edwin Wixted, Peter Boohan and Shane all got 1 each.
Final score was Crecora 1 – 09 Croom 5 – 10
