The victorious U 17 side.

Monday was not an evening for the purists in Mitchels as the driving wind and rain made life very difficult for both sets of players.

Mitchels with a strong breeze in the first half made the most of it kicking some fine scores including a beauty from Ted Fitz and one from joint captain Bobby Byrne from distance. Darragh Cunnane made the most of a wayward kick out and with the keeper off his line he finished superbly to the net from 40’yards out. Rory Clifford carrying plenty of ball was always a threat.

Na Gaeil showed some good fight however we started to get to grips in midfield with half time on the horizon and we went in 2-8 to 1-1

Second half started along the same lines with our midfield showing great form creating the platform for our attacks.

Cody Sullivan volleyed a great goal after a superb run and a selfless pass across goal from Darragh. Na Gaeil showed great determination and took the fight to us, but our backs proved very strong with Ben solid in goals and Brian and Cillian O’Donnell strong in the tackle and Sean Whelan, in particular, reading the game superbly and sweeping up loads of ball to stop any attacks that came our way.

Thanks to Gary for refing and to Na Gaeil for a great game of football in absolutely terrible conditions it was an achievement that this game was played at all

.

Player of the game was Darragh Cunnane, strong in his scoring, distribution and overall play

Joint Captains Bobby and Darragh spoke very highly of Na Gaeil and thanked everyone for their contributions during the year

Nice way to sign off boys and well done to the boys and mentors Sean, Cian, Peter, Colin, Stephen and Joe
