Notes 18/3/13

The U 14 footballers played in the County Feile competition on Saturday 16^th March. The competition was run off as a series of blitzes with games of 12minute halves. Kilmacabea were part of a group which played  at Ballygarvan.

The Kilmacs drew the short straw in that their first game was against the home team and eventual group winners and they were slow to start.  By half time they had found their feet and were back in the game behind  1- 2 to 0-3. For the third quarter playing some excellent football they put themselves in a good position and had edged two point s ahead. Unfortunately they got caught on the break for a couple of key scores which were their undoing. Final result was Kilmacabea 0-7 Ballygarvan 3-3. The second game was a titanic battle between two evenly matched sides. Whitechuch got the lead score but play was up and down and the Kilmacs equalised before half time. The Kilmacs got the key score mid-way through the second half and while both sides had chances the Kilmacs held out for a morale boosting victory on the score 1-1 to 0-1. In the next game they played Naomh Aban. The team was now playing  good football with confidence and a better balance to the side and were able to win the game on the score 1-6 to 0-4. In the final game they had too much for the St Finbarrs “B” team and went on to win 2-8 to 0-1. All in it was a super experience for the players and the team and players learned a lot from it. The team played some fine football throughout with a great effort, attitude and commitment from all who took part. Team Conor Nash, Mikey O’Mahony, Adrian  Gore, Odran Kerrisk, Ian Jennings, Jamie O’Donoghue, Jamie Ronan, Ashley Deane, Damien Gore, David Whelton, Myles Tobin, Dara Tobin, Oisin O’Driscoll, Ellis Wilson, Christy Wilson, Ciaran Hernon. The competition was run off efficently and with great hospitality by the home club
