Senior Men’s Co. League Div. 3: Following their disappointing result away to Listry last weekend Na Gaeil got back on track yesterday with a comfortable win away to Duagh in Round 6 of the Co. League Div. 3.

Na Gaeil started brightly with 2 fisted points from Jack Bourke and a Liam Cooper point with Duagh’s only response a pointed free. Ruairí Ó hAiniféin was doing well in midfield and our forwards had plenty possession.

Peter Doyle made it 4-1 but got injured in the process and had to be replaced. Jack Sheehan was next to register a point followed by a 2-point free from Keith O’Leary and a Liam Cooper free. Duagh were struggling and our lads went even further ahead when Seán O’Connor expertly dispatched a penalty.

Duagh got one back when they converted a free and they followed this up with a goal but a late Liam Cooper free restored a 7 point lead for Na Gaeil at halftime.

The home side reduced the margin to 6 points inside the 1st minute of the second half and soon afterwards they were right back in the game having scored a penalty.

But that was as close as Duagh got and further points from Liam Cooper (free), Kieran O’Connor and Jack Sheehan to 2 points for Duagh left our lads with a 4 point cushion mid-way through the half. Further points followed from Kieran & Seán O’Connor and a 2-pointer from Liam Cooper opened the gap to 8.

Duagh then swooped for goal number 3 and they could have got a 4th were it not for a smart save from Keith O’Leary.

As the game drew to its inevitable conclusion the home side added 1 more point while Liam Cooper (free) and Seán Barrett brought our total to an impressive 1-18. Final score: Duagh 3-6, Na Gaeil 1-18.

Senior Men’s Co. League Div. 7B: Well done to our senior men’s B team who beat Spa B last Saturday night in the County League Division 7B. Final score Spa B 3-10, Na Gaeil B 2-20.

Senior Ladies Co. League Div. 1: Round 4 of the Donal Curtin ladies county league was played yesterday in Killeen and Scartaglen were the visitors. Na Gaeil were hoping to preserve their unbeaten status and they just about did enough to secure another win in a low-scoring game.

An early Siena Lucey point was the only score in the first 10 minutes as Scartaglen squandered a few chances.

The visitors eventually converted a free to level matters. A point each from Orla Costello and Meagan Sheehy in quick succession put our girls ahead 3-1 but a Scartaglen goal in the 23rd minute was enough to see them lead at halftime by the minimum, 0-3 to 1-1.

Our girls got off to a flyer after the break with Siena Lucey scoring a great goal. The move started with a driving run through the center by Orla Costello. She played a quick one-two with Meagan Sheehy and then set up Siena.

Unfortunately soon afterwards Scartaglen were awarded a penalty which they duly scored to put them ahead once more. At the other end of the pitch Meabh Barry shrugged off an earlier wide to kick an important score to level the game and from the resultant kickout our girls combined well to allow Siena kick another point.

1-5 to 2-1 to Na Gaeil with 15 minutes remaining. Scartaglen continued to enjoy plenty of possession but great defending by our backs and goalkeeper Laura Fitzgerald resulted in the visitors kicking 3 wides in a row.

Another point from play from Siena Lucey left 2 points between the sides entering the final 5 minutes. A late Scartaglen point left the minimum between the sides but our Na Gaeil girls managed those nervous last few minutes well and saw the game out to win by 1. Final score: Na Gaeil 1-6, Scartaglen 2-2.

Senior Ladies Development League: Great result for our senior B team who defeated Listowel Emmets last Friday in the Development League by 1-10 to 0-9.
