Seniors avenge Senior final defeat
The Senior team fashioned their first league win of the
season when they overcame a weakened Starlights fifteen
on Saturday night last on a 2-11 to 2-9 scoreline. We
were also short a number of key players due to injuries
and unavailability, but produced some good football in
the first half to open a 3 point lead at the interval.
However, on the resumption we took our foot off the
pedal somewhat and struggled at times but managed to
hold on to collect both points.
This was our last game before our
championship opener
against Bannow Ballymitty who have been scoring freely in
recent weeks and will be a formidable opposition in New
Ross. We will be missing some players from last year's
County final, notably Niall Shiell, Barry Goff and Mikey
Hanrahan, but the return of Darren Browne and Jason Murphy
will be of some consolation to the selectors. Nothing,
however, except a fully committed performance will suffice
in this opening round game if we want to build on last
year's progress. |
