60 East Cork
What a win! What a team! Our outing away to Valley Rovers in Brinny, for the Premier 2 Football League fixture last Thursday, be- came a thrilling and excit- ing
contest, a game that
ebbed and flowed through- out. This reporter could list many highlights, the
fact
that Valley Rovers struck the crossbar five times, or that we struck the post twice, or the fabulous penalty save from Alex Howard – but one fact stands above all others, this was the fifth win from five games for this ex- cellent group of footballers. Short of a few regulars,
every player contributed enormously and battled to hold out Valley Rovers in the first half. While Mikey
Finn’s goal gave us a 1-0 to 0-2 lead at halftime, the first ten minutes of the second half saw us dominate and build up a vital lead of five points at the three quarter mark. TJ, Ben, Alex, Tadhg B and Michael Roe played with great energy, and half backs Tadhg O’Leary and Niall soared up the field giv- en every opportunity. Cath- al, Sean, Brian, and the two Daras looked very threaten- ing every time our forwards got possession. Yes, the op- position came back and yes they scored, but the game saw David Green at his best when he grabbed 1-3 in the second half, having com- bined very well with Cian and Odhran, to push us for- ward to a winning position.
Big effort also came from our younger players, Tadhg, Cian, and Evan. Big thanks to man of the match, Maire- ad Beausang, for transport- ing five players to the match; must mention Peter for the amusing reason the ball hit the bar a freakish number of times in one game – we were playing near Crossbarry! Panel from: Dara Scan-
lon, TJ Murphy, Ben Ken- neally, Odhran Mahony, Tadhg O’Leary, Michael Roe, Cathal Beausang, Da- vid Green, Sean Fraser, Ni- all Lang, Cian Lamb, Evan McGrath, Mikey Finn, Brian O’Connell, Dara Fitzgerald, Alex Moloney, Tadhg Bohan and Alex Howard.
sport@eastcorkjournal.ie Notes
Fe 14 Feile na Gael results;
Midleton 1-04 v Glen Rov- ers 2-04, Midleton 2-04 v Ballincollig 1-07 and Mid- leton 5-07 v Blackrock 1-01. It was a case of not meant
to be for our gallant group of hurlers who participat- ed in the Feile na nGael in Blackpool last Saturday. Preparations were being put in place for the last number of months, but on the day it was just not to be. As usual with this group of warriors everything they had was left on the field. They battled through all three games and with just a small bit more luck would have easily ad- vanced to the semifinals. But lessons were learnt and they will be sure to dust them-
selves down and bounce back even better.
