Dr Crócaigh 3-14
An Ráth Mhór 3-7
An amazing start to
this very competitive game in Fitzgerald Stadium on the Bank
Holiday Monday with three goals scored in as many minutes right
at the start of the game. With the wind blowing into their
faces Rathmore got the first two playing into the scoreboard
side goal. Our lads didn’t panic though, and we were level by
the 13th minute our corner forward Brian Looney getting both
goals, and Colm Cooper our opening point after a one two with
Andrew Kennelly.
After this we had the
better of things for most of the game but Rathmore never gave up
and with seven minutes of normal time remaining they were back
to within two points 2-12 to 3-7. A quick free by Colm Cooper
to Pa Moloney produced our third goal to finally kill off any
chance Rathmore had. This was a great team performance with
some memorable scores Ambrose O’Donovan scoring from outside the
45 in the 17th minute and Pa Maloney scoring from the side line
after a great cross-field ball from Mike O’Grady. At halftime
we were 2-8 to 3-1, Michael Kelliher getting Rathmore’s third
goal and he almost got another early in the second half.
