Blues get off to winning start in Templenoe

11th March 2018 By Kerins O'Rahilly's PRO

It was nip and tuck all the way in Templenoe but eventually we came good in the second half to take the two points on offer against a resolute and determined home side who never gave up and were still attacking at the final whistle.

Playing with the aid of  a slight breeze in the first half we were quickly out of the blocks and led by 0-03 to 0-01 after 5 minutes following scores from Tommy Walsh (2) and Cormac Coffey – a late addition to the panel. Templenoe having added a point then struck for the first of their two goals when a quick ball inside saw the corner forward lose his marker and fire to the net; worse was to follow in the 15th minute when the home side again breached our defence raising another green flag – it was now 2-03 to 0-05 and we looked to be in trouble. Ross O’Callaghan was moved from his full back berth to mark Killian Spillane at centre back and this was to have a more settling effect on the side – Danny O’Sullivan and Shane Brosnan too were to the fore and we pegged back the deficit to one  point following 3  good scores from Gearoid Savage, who had the beating of  his man. The home side again fought back and two points before half time to a pointed free from Tommy Walsh left the score at the short whistle – 2-05 to Templenoe to our 0-09.

Though facing the breeze in the second half we began in determined fashion and Tommy had the margin down  to the minimum when pointing a free; a good inter change of passing saw John Ferguson bearing down on goal but he was taken out of it by two defenders and the referee pointed to the penalty spot – strangely he failed to administer any further punishments by way of cards when black looked the obvious colour to brandish – Tommy kept his composure and fired the penalty high  to the roof of the net, 1-10 to 2-05 – shortly afterwards Cormac increased this to 3 points with a great score from far out.

The scores were level on  3 further occasions from here to the end as both sides vied for supremacy   – with 22 minutes gone it was 1-13 to 2-10 but we raised 3 of the next 4 white flags all  frees from Tommy who was unerring all through – the final point went to the home side but it was too little, too late and we emerged victorious.

This was a very encouraging start to the league and two valuable points gained; in the end, it was down to big performances in the final 10 minutes from Ross O’Callaghan, Con Barrett, John C O’Connor,  Gavin O’Brien, Cormac Coffey and Tommy Walsh that ensured we were victorious. We next play St Marys in Strand Road on Sunday 25th March in round 2.

Team: Gary Kissane, Danny O’Sullivan, Ross O’Callaghan, David Murphy, Cian Sayers, Shane Brosnan, Karl Mullins, Con Barrett, John C O’Connor, Gavin O’Brien ( 0-02), Tommy Walsh ( 1-08), Cormac Coffey ( 0-02), Gazza Savage ( 0-03), Diarmuid O’Sullivan, John Ferguson ( 0-01). Subs used: Padraig Griffin and Donagh O’Brien.
