LEE STRAND TOWN LEAGUE BOARD FINAL:
We played Austin Stacks in the Town League Final at home in Ballyseedy today. It was a bitterly cold day and a light snow fell continuously during the match. There was a close and exciting encounter in the first half and a Shane O’Connor goal kept Mitchels in the game and went in at half time a point down.
Mitchels started well in the 2nd half and were awarded a penalty which was saved but was deflected out for a 45 which was converted to a well taken score under the conditions.
It was a nip and tuck with both sides giving their all and the decisive score came for Mitchels when James Duggan found the net in the 3rd quarter. Stacks gave their all in the final 15 minutes but the Mitchels defence were resolute and held out to achieve a great victory in this keenly contested final. Final score John Mitchels 2-05 Austin Stacks 0-08.
Laurence Bastible was presented with the Town League Cup to the cheers of their many supporters and took the opportunity of thanking Brendan Dillane of Weathermaster for their sponsorship for their team jerseys.
