Senior B Team

Goals they say win games but credit must go to the 16 players that played Listowel Emmets last Tuesday evening in Blennerville in this JFL encounter. both teams were very equal in the first half as our players competed in all areas of the field with scores at 5 apiece at the end of the first half.

However, we conceded 2 goals (the first and last scores of the half) which made the difference as our visitors ran out winners on a score line of St Pats 0-12 Listowel Emmets 2-12.

Scorers: Breandáin Savage (0-4,2f), Joe Quilter (0-3), Brandon Boyle (0-2,1f), Joe Costello (0-1), David Kerins (0-1), Gary Savage (0-1).
