DIV 3 FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 3

Raheen Intermediate Footballers got their season back on track as they picked up their second win of the year in Rd 3 of the Div 3 League against Edenderry last Sunday evening in Geashill on a scoreline of 2-10 to 1-09. Playing with the advantage of the strong breeze in the first half Edenderry struck first to open the scoring with a goal in the 3rd minute as they split the defence running through the middle to shoot to the net. Raheen responded immediately with their first score a point from Jack Keogh. Edenderry then hit 6 points in a row before the sides exchanged 2 points apiece with Eamon Bolger and Lee Mulpeter on target with the Raheen scores. Then in the 27th minute Raheen got right back into it by grabbing their first goal when a ball over the top was flicked first time by Lee Mulpeter and punched to the net by Cein Gorman. Raheen rounded off the half with a point in the final minute to go in at the break just 4 points adrift 1-08 to 1-04. Edenderry got the first score of the second half with a pointed free in the 4th minute to increase their lead to 5 points but this would prove to be their final score of the game. The comeback for Raheen began in the 9th minute with their second goal just seconds after a double substitution paid dividends when a lineball taken by sub Brian Crombie found corner back David Carthy on the edge of the square who found the in-running other sub Mikey Buckley who dispatched it to the net. This is how it remained until just after the mid point of the half when over the next 10 minutes Raheen hit 6 points in a row to turn a 2 point deficit into a 4 point winning margin with the Raheen scores from Cein Gorman (4), Mikey Buckley and another sub Danny Gorman.
