Back Game Division 1A Round 2

Ballydonogue 1.4 v Brosna 0.07

Report by Ballydonoghue PRO Tim O Connor

In the end, both sides were happy to come away with a share of the spoils on a day when the gale force winds restricted both teams to a single point when playing against it. Ballydonoghhue with the aid of the wind in the first half should have been out of sight at half time. But three glorious goal chances went a begging for sake of someone to put the finishing touch to a couple of good moves.  It the end it took wing back Diarmuid Behan to raise the green flag when he soloed in along the end line before finding the bottom corner of the Brosna net after 20mins. Five minutes later Brosna got their only score of the half with a Mike Finnigan point. HT B/D (1-3) Brosna (0-1).

Jim Cremin stretched Ballydonoghue’s lead early in the second half with what was to be their last score. From there on Brosna laid siege to the Ballydonoghue goals with Mike Finnigan and Adam Barry getting ample supply of ball, they caused the Ballydonoghue backs some major headaches. But Ballydonoghue managed to keep their goals intact and they can thank their wing back Stephen Lonergan for some very timely interventions. Brosna had chipped away at Ballydonoghue’s lead and there was only a point between them after 27 mins. Two minutes later the sides were level as Brosna finally closed the gap.

Report by Moyvane PRO Aine Cronin

Moyvane had their first win of the season overcoming Knocknagoshel at home on a final score of Moyvane 4.5, Knocknagoshel 0.12.

The home side had the perfect start as within the first 5 minutes of the game they had found the back of the Knocknagoshel net twice, both goals from full forward Paddy Curtin. A point again from Curtin was quickly answered by a pointed free from the visitors busy midfielder Edmond Walsh who would prove to be dangerous on the break throughout the game.  Moyvane were working the ball very efficiently and creating lots of chances. An Aidan Keane free kept the advantage with Moyvane before 2 points from Edmond Walsh saw the score 2.2 to 0.3 on the 15 minute mark.  Curtin was causing problems for the visiting fullback line and slipped over a point that was followed by another Aidan Keane free. Walsh again pointed for Knocknagoshel in the last minute of the half but from the kick out Moyvane worked the ball quickly down field and Curtin laid on a precise pass to Aidan Keane who slotted home a goal for the last kick of the half, leaving the half time score Moyvane 3.4, Knocknagoshel 0.4.

Moyvane began the second half as they had left the first as within two minutes of the whistle they once more rattled the visitors net.  Paddy Curtin slipped a pass to Ian McCarthy who fired the ball passed goalie Danny Walsh.  Knocknagoshel did not give up hope however, and had 4 unanswered points, 2 each from Edmund Walsh and Joe Regan before Con Mulvihill pointed for Moyvane in the 50th minute. The visitors again went on the attack and notched up 4 more points before the game ended, again 2 from the impressive Edmund Walsh and 2 from James Walsh.  Moyvane goalie Brendan Galvin had to look sharp towards the end with a great save in the final minutes.  The game ended on a final score of Moyvane 4.5, Knocknagoshel 0.12.
