PEIL FAOI 6: Our outdoor season has ended! The Jimmy Barry Cup was played for and a great morning was had by all! Good football was played by Shay Horan and Billy Kirby. Account next week!
PEIL FAOI 8: Last Sunday was the last ‘green grass’ action day for The Rock Under 8 footballers for this season! The Bracker Regan Trophy was up for grabs and was eagerly fought for! Following the traditional parade, the playing and singing of Amhrán na bhFiann and the taking of photographs for the 2018 club calendar, the teams took to the pitch.
The Bracker O’Regan Cup Final saw ‘Austin Stacks’ take on ‘The Rockies’. ‘Austin Stacks’ started brightly and took an early lead with scores from captain Micheal Cotter and the very dangerous Nathan Hurley.
‘The Rockies’ settled and, with Eoin Mangan and his fellow backs steadying the ship and with mid-fielder Danny Lane driving forward, they fought their way back into the game. At half-time, the score stood at ‘Austin Stacks’ 1-03, ‘The Rockies’ 0-03.
The early stages of the second half belonged to ‘The Rockies’ as Barry Laide started to make an impression and two goals by Danny Lane put them in front for the first time.
However, ‘Austin Stacks’soon regained control. Michael Cotter drove his team forward and scored two goals of his own. At the final whistle, ‘Austin Stacks’ prevailed on a score of 3-04 to 2-04.
For the winners, Micheal Cotter played a captain’s role throughout and he gave an exhibition of all-round play highlighted by some impressive fielding and score taking. Luke Galvin had a great spell as goal-keeper and at the back, Jamie Casey and Oisín Cotter were prominent and Diarmuid Hennessy tried hard. Conor O’Regan was busy at centre-field, winning lots of possession and setting up attacks.
In the forwards, Nathan Hurley was very sharp, David Hobbert won a lot of ball while Ewan Canty and Elliot Calleja supported well. For ‘The Rockies’, Philip was very sound in goals. Eoin Mangan gave a magnificent display in defence where he was ably assisted by Ryan Flaherty and Jayden Griffin. Danny Lane played his heart out at mid-field where Barry Laide did his best work after half-time.
In the forwards, Killian Coffey, Liam Swords and Conal Moore were always a threat. After the match, Martin O’Regan presented the Bracker O’Regan Cup to ‘Austin Stacks’ captain, Micheal Cotter.
