Lee Strand Boys Under 14 Division 1 County Football League Final
Austin Stacks 2-12
Churchill 0-7
The Rockies Under 14 side took the honours in this county final held on Wednesday night at St Pat’s, Blennerville.
This match was much closer than the scoreline might suggest. Two talented teams played some great football in ideal conditions, with the half time score in Austin Stacks favour 0-5 points to 0-1.
Churchill narrowed the difference to two points early in the second half, but two successive goals and a brace of points from Austin Stacks put paid to Churchill’s chances of defeating the boys from the Rock.
The Christy Griffin Memorial Shield was presented to Dylan Casey, captain of Austin Stacks, by Tadhg O’Halloran, Secretary of Coiste na nOg. Incidentally, when this Shield was first competed for in 1982, it was presented to Austin Stacks and the captain that year was Gene O’Donnell, one of the trainers of the current Austin Stacks team.
