An Riocht collect maximum points
from Castewellan and Lonstone
 

The seniors played Castlewellan and Longstone within three days collecting maximum points in the process.

At home to Castlewellan the sides were level four times in the first half before the visitors took a seven six interval lead. That had increased by a point on the restart when we goaled following the move of the game.

Paul Murney rose for a high catch at midfield and kicked long to John Clarke. He slipped the ball to the advancing Aidan Flanagan who saw Ciaran Walsh inside the defence and he picked his spot just inside the right hand post past a diving Mickey mc Veigh.

Having gone in front we stayed there, Neil Doran securing the win with a mighty score from way out on the sideline.

Scorers: J Clarke 0:4; C Walsh 1:0; P Cole 0:2; A Flanagan 0:2; A Cunningham 0:1; N Doran 0:1; J Lavery 0:1.

In Longstone it was another close game and again a goal at the start of the second half proved decisive. From the throw in Aidan Flanagan delivered long to John Clarke and he flicked on to Ciaran Walsh who coolly finished from the thirteen metre line. Earlier the sides were level six times as they went in seven all at the break.

A goal up with an hour played the defence covered itself in glory as they withstood eight additional minutes of Longstone pressure without wilting.

Scorers:
J Clarke 0:7; C Walsh 1:0; N Doran 0:1; P Murney 0:1; P Cole 0:1; D O’Reilly 0:1.
