Senior Football An Riocht v Shamrocks 23/05/2005

The senior footballers lost again though the seven point margin flattered Shamrocks who goaled in the first and last minutes of the match. Behind from the opening exchanges An Riocht were chasing the match throughout the first half. Some poor shooting and an inability to support Stephen Flanagan who broke lots of ball at full forward meant we trailed by four at the break despite sharing possession.

A better third quarter saw four An Riocht points scored to level the match but once we missed a goal opportunity the advantage passed back to Shamrocks who finished the contest strongly.

Hopefully at least half the eight first teamers currently absent will return for this weeks game and give everyone a little lift.
