Senior Football Drumgath v An Riocht
The Seniors recorded their first win of the season under the lights at Drumgath on Friday night. Ciaran Walsh and Neill Doran opened the scoring, Dan McCabe replying for Drumgath from a free. Then it was all An Riocht. Scores flowed from Doran (3), Richard Annett (2) and Deaglan O’Reilly and Doran and Walsh could have had goals.

Eight one up we lapsed in the final minutes of the half conceding points to McCabe (2) and Packie Downey for an 0:8 to 0:4 interval scoreline. Colin Flanagan and Paul Murney in defence, Paddy Small and Deaglan O’Reilly at midfield, and Ciaran Walsh, Neill Doran, Kevin Flanagan and Richard Annett in attack were all prominent in the best thirty minutes produced this year. Five subs came in for the second half. Paul Murney played a one two with Neill Doran and fired the return to the net. Barry Annett added a point after the keeper had beaten out Aidan Cunninghams shot and Deaglan O’Reilly and Richard Annett combined in the best move of the match for the latter to point.

Four thirteen down Drumgaths fight back was begun by attacking number five Donal Mooney with two points. Then another couple of points and a quick goal and with ten minutes remaining suddenly there were just two points in it. Michael Harper and Paddy Small saw goal chances denied before Paddy Coles free and Neill Doran from play finally put some distance between the teams again.

Dan McCabe from a free and Justin Lynch with the last kick kept the result in some doubt until the final whistle. Team: G Finnegan, M Trainor, S Flanagan, C Flanagan, A Flanagan, P Murney (G), L Fitzpatrick, D O’Reilly (1), P Small, A Cunningham, K Flanagan, C Walsh (1), S Annett, N Doran (5), R Annett (3). Subs B Annett (1), A O’Hanlon, M Harper, P Cole (1), B Sloan.
