A game of two halves
3-4-2014
Muckalee 5-4 Canices 6-0
We travelled to Muckalee today in round two of our C North league, and came up just short in a great sporting contest.
We lost the toss and faced the breeze defending the road goal in the first half. In spite of the best efforts of all concerned, we were constantly on the back foot and conceded 5-4 in the opening period.
After the opposition made some strategic second half alterations, our confidence grew and grew. Incredibly, we scored six goals in the new half, holding our opponents scoreless.
We had only two 6th class hurlers today, David Kelleher and Jok Duop. The remainder were 5th and 4th, and many of these lads were outstanding!
None was better than James Carroll. He was amazing. Against boys twice his size and years older, he fought tirelessly and bravely throughout. Well done James.
Other impressive performers today were Luke Brennan in goal, Ger Byrne, Luca Loli, David Kelleher, Patrick Fitzgerald and Sean Maher.
Our next league outing is after Easter, a home match against Danesfort.
