Senior Men’s Co. League Div. 3: In Round 4 of the McCarthy Insurance Co. League our lads hosted Fossa yesterday and they made the most of home advantage to win by 2 points, 0-16 to 1-11. The first half was evenly contested but littered with wides from both sides. Fossa were first to register a point but a 45 from Keith O’Leary levelled matters.
Three Liam Cooper frees and a point from Fossa left it 4 points to 2 in our favour after 18 minutes. Then came the Fossa goal after one of our defenders was dispossessed and they soon followed up with another point to lead by 2.
Kieran O’Connor kicked a fine score (our only point from play in the first half) but Fossa’s full-forward Emmett O’Shea extended their lead to 2 again. Liam Cooper and Emmett O’Shea added a free each before on the stroke of halftime our keeper Keith O’Leary crucially made no mistake with a 2-point free to send the teams to the dressing rooms all square.
The second half opened brightly with a point from Seán O’Connor from play. Fossa hit back with 2 of their own before another Liam Cooper free levelled the game again. Fossa took the lead once more but good scores from subs Darragh Reen & Jack Bourke put Na Gaeil ahead 0-12 to 1-8.
Then an incident off the ball saw Na Gaeil’s Peter Doyle black carded and a Fossa player was sent off. With 10 minutes left Seán O’Connor kicked his 2nd point of the game but again Fossa replied with 3 frees in quick succession to move 1 ahead.
Peter Doyle’s reappearance in the 28th minute was to prove pivotal though as he kicked a point in his first involvement and then proceeded to kick a super 2-pointer from the right wing to decide the game. Next Sunday the lads will be away to Listry at 2pm.
Senior Men’s Co. League Div. 7B: Well done to our Senior men’s B team who defeated Ballydonoghue B last Saturday night in the County League Division 7B. Two top-class goals from Jamie Lowham turned the tide in Na Gaeil’s favour in the 2nd half. Final score: Na Gaeil B 2-17, Ballydonoghue B 3-11.
Senior Ladies Co. League Div. 1: Yesterday our Senior ladies maintained their unbeaten start to the Donal Curtin County League with a hard-fought win away to Castleisland Desmonds.
Played in beautiful sunshine our girls dominated the first 10 minutes and led by 4 points to nil, the scores coming from a Siena Lucey free, 2 from Kateanne O’Connor and one from Aoife Barrett.
But Desmonds responded well and notched 3 points from play in a matter of minutes to narrow the gap to the minimum with 5 minutes remaining in the half.
The final score of the half came from a Desmond’s free leaving the sides level at the halftime break, 4 points apiece. The second half was only 2 minutes old when a Desmond’s 25m free deceived everyone and ended up in our net.
A couple of wides followed before our girls managed a goal of their own, Meabh Barry applying the finish from close range. Level again.
A point each from Siena and Meagan Sheehy put some daylight between the teams but again Desmond rallied with a point from play and one from a free to tie things up once more.
But our girls showed their resolve and worked the ball up the field to captain Meagan Sheehy who fired over what was to be the winning point. Thankfully for us a last-minute Desmond’s free drifted wide. Final score: Castleisland Desmond’s 1-6, Na Gaeil 1-7.
Senior Ladies Development League: It was an historic occasion for our senior ladies club last Friday night when our senior B team hosted Southern Gaels in the County Development League. It was our first time having a B team and it was great to see some new faces along with a few girls making their return after a while away from football. While the result didn’t go our way on the night the future looks bright. Well done girls!
