Seniors:
Played in bright sunshine & a light breeze in Churchill’s pitch last Sunday, St Pats gave a very credible performance in the 5th round Brendan’s league match against Na Gaeil. Na Gaeil opened the scoring with a converted free but over the next 20 minutes St Pats controlled the game, we had our opening point from Liam Poff after 10 minutes followed by points from Michael O’Sullivan, Paul McMahon & Adrian Greaney before a poor clearance & sloppy play left Na Gaeil in for a goal to level the scores against the run of play.
St Pats pulled back two from Tommy Lynch & Brendan Poff & a great catch by Michael O’Sullivan at mid-field, linked to Brendan Poff who found Liam Sullivan & he buried to the net for a good goal. Points exchanged at either side before the break left the half time score 1-10 to 1-03.
On the resumption Na Gaeil hit a purple patch & scored 5 unanswered points to narrow the gap to 3 pts. Liam Sullivan found the net for the second time & this gave St Pats the momentum to push on for the win. A strong finish by St Pats , with Kieran Hurley, Luke Mulligan, Killian Quirke & Brendán savage comming into the fray in the second half to give St Pats a comfortable win on a score line of 2-16 to 1-10.
We have two games left in the Brendan’s League vs Ballymac & Ardfert. It is hoped to get these played over the next two weeks before the first round of the county league on March 20th. Keep an eye on the club Facebook page for any fixture updates. Training continues on the Astro turf on Tuesday & Friday nights at 7:30pm.
