Senior Football Ballyholland v An Riocht  30/05/2005

In Ballyholland on Thursday another one got away, with the locals finishing a goal to the good, 2:11 to 1:11.

 

We had to work very hard for our scores while at the other end Ronan Murtagh proved too hot to handle finishing with 2:6 and winning a penalty brilliantly saved by Brendan McVeigh. At one stage there was seven points between the teams though we had that down to the minimum by the break.

 

A slow start to the second half allowed Ballyholland pull away again and left us chasing the result against the clock, going for goals too early probably cost us a share of the points. It was good to see Ciaran McVeigh back from injury, coming on for the first time this season he scored a goal and put an end to the Ballyholland backs coming out unopposed.
