Credit Union Senior Co League Division 1 Kerins O’Rahillys 1-10 Dr Crokes 0-14
We were very unlucky not to come away with a draw in this evenly contested Div. 1 game played at Lewis Road in ideal conditions on Saturday evening last.
There was nothing between the sides throughout the game with both sides having plenty of possession and dominating at different stages of the game. Dr Crokes had the opening score a point in the 3rd minute.
We replied with a well taken point by David Mc Loughlin to level the scores. Though Dr Crokes added two more points we replied with points from John O’Connor and a Jack Savage free to leave the scores at 3 points each at the 15th minute.
We went ahead straight after with a well taken point by Jack Savage but Dr Crokes replied with 3 more points to leave the half time scores at Kerins O’Rahillys 0-05 to Dr Crokes 0-06 our 5th point put over by Jack Savage from a free.
Though Dr Crokes added 2 more points after half time a great run from Cian Sayers found John O’Connor with a cross field ball and following a great pass the unmarked Kieran O’ Mahony billowed the net to level the scores at Kerins O’Rahillys 1-05 to Dr Crokes 0-08 at the 37th minute.
Three great points by Kieran O’ Mahony who was very impressive in the forwards left us ahead by 1-08 to Dr Crokes 0-09 at the 41st minute. Dr Crokes drew level in the 44th minute and both sides traded points with Jack Savage putting over two frees for Strand Road to leave the scores at Kerins O’Rahillys 1-10 to Dr Crokes 0-14 at the 56th minute.
There was a delay in play after this with yellow cards flashed to both sides but time ran out and Crokes scrope home with a one point win and a valuable two league points.
Garry Kissane was solid in goals. Danny Sullivan, Shane Brosnan, Cian Sayers and Giles O’ Grady did well in the backs. Gavin Duffy and Kevin Walshe had a good hour mid field and up front his Man of the Match John O’Connor who was outstanding.
