St. Brendan’s League Fixtures 2015
We played Churchill in St Brendan’s League last Sunday which was played in excellent conditions on our home grounds. Both teams exchanged points with our scores coming from Lawrence Bastible and Sean Moloney. Our inside forward
line of Niall Sheehy, Alan O’Donoghue and Sean Moloney were creating havoc inside. They were getting excellent ball from Oliver Coffey on the forty and our midfielders John Higgins and Lawrence Bastible who were dominant at mid-field. Niall Sheehy and Sean Moloney both added goals in quick concession and points by Oliver Coffey and Sean Moloney (2) put us in a commanding position. We capped off an excellent first half with a third goal scored by Stevie O’Mahony which left half time score John mitchels 3-05 to Churchill 0-02.
We made some substitutions at half time and they all accounted well for themselves. We added more scores In second half from Niall Sheehy Alan O’Donoghue (2) and Graham Higgins. Churchill scored two goals near the end. We ended up deserving winners in a score line of 3-11 to 2-03.

MINORS
Coiste Tra Li League Fixtures 2015:
Mitchels 4-9 Ardfert 1-11
A very high spirited performance by both sides in the foggy dew. Both sides scoring well but Mitchels hit the net with some very fast direct forward play. Ardfert came at Mitchels hard in the second half but found a defence on top form and they had to settle for points when perhaps they needed goals. Mitchels stepped it up a gear towards the end and seemed relentless and didn’t look like they were going to leave their lead slip. Ardfert had some super performances with their goal coming late in the second half. It was the only real blemish on an outstanding team performance by John Mitchels who ran out deserving winners. It was very hard to single anyone out in what was a truly superb team performance.
Round 2 – John Mitchels 4-9 Ardfert 1-11
