Senior Men: Last Saturday night our seniors had a short trip across town to take on John Mitchels in Round 9 of the Credit Union Co. League. Mitchels played with the aid of the wind in the first half and took an early lead with a point from a free.
However, it was a full 13 minutes before they added their second point by which time our lads had kicked 5 wides. Eventually a point from Kieran O’Connor, who was lively throughout, and one from Ruairí Ó hAiniféin tied up the game with 22 minutes gone.
Mitchels edged ahead again but Na Gaeil responded with a point each from Tomás Ó hAiniféin and Jamesie O’Connor to edge the contest 4 points to 3 at halftime.
Na Gaeil started the second half with gusto and were rewarded with points from Dan Goggin and Kieran O’Connor. Mitchels kept in touch with a pointed free. A Ruairí Ó hAiniféin point off his left and a Mark Lynch free extended Na Gaeil’s lead to 4 points, 8 points to 4, mid-way through the half.
However Mitchels sprung into life and added 2 frees and a point from play in a matter of minutes and it was now just a 1 point game. A Mark Lynch free in the 27th minute gave our lads a 2 point cushion but it proved to be a dangerous lead.
From the kickout Mitchels drove through our defence and smashed home a goal. Credit to our lads though. They worked the ball upfield one final time, finding Dan Goggin inside the 21 and he popped over the equalizing point. Final score: John Mitchels 1-7, Na Gaeil 0-10.
