U15 FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM COMPETITION RD 2
Na Fianna U15 Football Second Team made a late comeback but just
ran out of time as Ferbane / Belmont claimed the win in Rd 2 of the 2nd Team
Competition last Sunday afternoon in Geashill on a scoreline of 6-07 to 3-14
where the concession of goals at crucial times proved to be decisive. F/ B opened the scoring with first point from
a placed ball before the first of those decisive moments came in the 5th minute
when Na Fianna keeper Eoin McLachlain pulled off a double save but F/B knocked
it into the net at the 3rd attempt for the first goal and from the resultant
kick out F/B lobbed the ball straight to the net for the second goal. Na Fianna
then got up and running hitting over 4 points by the mid-point of the half from
Cathal Cuskelly, Rory Kehoe (2) and Sean Dempsey with a single point reply from
F/B who the struck for their 3rd goal in the 17th minute in similar fashion to
their first followed immediately by a point. This is how it remained until the
final minute when a shot by Na Fianna’s Rory Kehoe was met at the left post by
his teammate Tomas McFadden who punched it to the net for Na Fianna’s first
goal which left it 3-03 to 1-04 in favour of Ferbane / Belmont at the break. Na
Fianna opened the scoring in the second half with a point but F/B’s first score
of the second half in the second minute was their 4th goal. The sides added 2
points apiece before F/B struck for their 5th goal in the 13th minute followed
by another point with Na Fianna then pulling back 3 points in a row before F/B
got through to score their 6th and final goal in the 20th minute. This put F/B
11 points up and to their credit Na Fianna did not bow their heads but
instead fought their way back, first
with points followed by 2 goals in the 24th & 28th minutes scored by Rory
Kehoe and Ciaran Hannigan. F/B got their final point to go 4 points up but Na
Fianna completed the scoring with the final 2 points before time ran out leaving
just the 2 points in it at end.
