BOYS MINOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS
14/10/2019
Congratulations to St Manchan's Gaels Minor Footballers, who won the 'B' Championship Final, edging out Shamrocks in Durrow on Sunday.
Despite the difficult underfoot conditions, both teams played some very good football, and there was nothing to separate them at half-time at 0-6 each. The game was still in the balance at 0-8 each with 10 minutes left to play, when our boys then hit a 5-minute purple patch. Two points from Eoin Murphy and a point from Corey Buckley suddenly opened up a gap, and before Shamrocks could react, a great goal from Corey Buckley put 6 between them. Shamrocks rallied and got two points back but were unable to get in for the goal they needed, as our boys' defence held solid. Final score: St Manchan's Gaels 1-11 Shamrocks 0-10. Well done to all players and management.
