Notes 26/11/12

The minor footballers played Beal Atha’n Ghaorthaidh in the final of the league on Saturday 17^th November in Dunmanway. On a dry day the conditions were good.  While the team hadn’t played in a long time and preparations were patchy the team settled well and were on top from the start. With goals from Richie O’Sullivan and Declan O’Sullivan the team was dominant throughout the pitch and were well worth the half time lead of 2-6 to 1-0. The second half was the complete reverse.

Beal Atha’n Ghaorthaidh began to get on top around the middle and started to close the gap. By the 18^th minute the gap was down to 2 points and looking dangerous

The team managed to keep battling and were able to hold out for victory on the score of Kilmacabea 2-7. Beal Atha’n Ghaorthaidh 1-9. While it was hard won it was welcome and well done to all involved including mentors William Williamson, Kevin O’Driscoll, Martin O’Sullivan and Tom Hayes. Team Matthew O’Neill, Denny Hayes, Shane McDermott, Kieran O’Sullivan, Seamus Murphy, Liam Thompson, Diarmaid O’Callaghan, Martin Collins, Euan Tobin, Eamon O’Sullivan, Declan O’Sullivan 1 -2, Oisin O’Sullivan 0-1(Captain), Kevin Whooley 0-1, Richie O’Sullivan 1-3, David O’Donovan, Alex Nowotynski, Niall Hayes, Kevin O’Donovan, Aidan Williamson, Gavin Daly, Paudie Cronin, Odhran Connolly.
