The Premier Minor football title eluded Tory Gaels following a narrow loss to Fr. Caseys on Sunday 12th October in Newcastlewest.<\/p>\n
The loss of some key players proved too much of a hurdle to surmount on this occasion.\u00a0 The experience of our opposition was an \u00a0important factor and they settled well into the game in the first half.<\/p>\n
While a well taken penalty by Conor Burke and points by Cormac Flanagan and Jamie Shinners kept us in the game in the opening quarter, two quick fire goals by Fr. Caseys \u00a0gave them a six point interval lead.<\/p>\n
The opening half also witnessed two superb saves by Shane O’Connell.<\/p>\n
Following the break Tory Gaels dominated the middle third with commanding performances from Ryan O’Shea, Mark Reidy, Cormac Flanagan and Se\u00e1n Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n
Continued pressure and well taken scores by the Shinners brothers, David Macken and Liam Quirke reduced the deficit to three points.<\/p>\n
However, Fr. Caseys defended well and were a constant threat on the break and kept the margin \u00a0to the end, giving a final score of 2 – 12\u00a0 to 1 – 11<\/p>\n
