Seniors open league campaign with great
win
Adamstown 2-7, Sarsfields 3-8:
Big Noel Walsh was the Sarsfields super-sub in Adamstown on
Saturday last when they beat the home side to collect the
first set of points on offer in Premier A, Group 2, of the
All-County Football League.
The county Minor hurler was sprung from the bench and scored
a brace of goals to make sure of success. Sarsfields fielded
a very young team, with their Jim Byrne Cup-winning captain
of 2006, Dylan Sparrow, scoring the other goal. There was
also a competitive Senior debut for talented defender Shane
Barnes whose omission from the county Minor squad has amazed
his fellow club members.
The game marked the return to competitive action of former
county Senior Darren Browne after a long injury lay-off.
Sarsfields: James Roice; David Gannon, Michael Hanrahan,
Brendan Mulligan; Dylan Sparrow (1-0), Colin Bent (0-1),
Shane Barnes; David Clancy, Andrew Moore; Emmet Keeling,
Kevin Gore (0-3), Cian Hore (0-2); Barry Goff (0-1), Ciarán
O'Leary (0-1), Paul Lambert. Subs. - Darren Browne for
Gannon, Lee Walker for Lambert, Noel Walsh (2-0) for
Sparrow, John Harrington for Clancy.
