Senior County Championship - Round 2A

Played in Austin Stack Park

Dr Crokes 0-17 St Kierans 0-8

In this game we only pulled away in the second half despite the fact we were short priced favourites. Some people would argue that our opponents were over defensive. My answer to that is that each team has fifteen players and they can play those players in any position in the field that they choose. Their tactics were very successful in the first half as we found it hard to break through their defence and led at half time by just two points 0-8 to 0-6.

We had a great start to the second half and sent over two points to go four points in front. We continued on the offensive in this second thirty minutes and gradually pulled away from St Kierans. We outscored our opponents by eight points to two in this second half. This win qualifies us for the Quarter Final of the Competition which is likely to be played in two weeks time.

A negative in our display was the fact that we only created one goal scoring chance. U wouldnt always call this a negative as we took our point scoring chances when they came and this allowed us to have a clear cut lead when we entered the last quarter. This gave us a chance to empty our bench and gave these players game time.
