St. Pats/ Naomh Brid 2-11 Dungarvan 2-5
Though defeat was our lot again in our second County minor football champions, our group of players again put in a very spirited performance against one of the championship favourites, St. Pats/ Naomh Brid.
The winners led by 1-3 to 0-1 at the end of the first quarter but a Conor Coward goal brought us into the game and further minor scores by Tadhg Murray (f) and Gabriel McGovern had the scores level nearing half time.
However, St. Pats/ Naomh Brid’s best forward Sean Condon scored 0-2 to leave his side in front at the break.
The winners showed their greater experience in the third quarter at the end of which they led by 1-10 to 1-4 with further scores by Condon(0-3), Darragh Reddy and Mikey Walsh.
However, the spirit of our group of players shone through again and a timely goal by David Flynn and a point by Conor Coward left just 0-2 the difference at 1-10 to 2-5 with time running out.
The winners secured their deserved win with a goal in added time by their captain Mikey O Brien
