A draw the fitting result after high-scoring clash
Mallow 2-13 Charleville 1-16
A DRAW was a fitting result in this game at Mallow on Sunday.
Both sides were short some key players with Mallow very much understrength. There was an early exchange of points before Charleville hit the front. Points in quick succession by P J Copse, Conor Buckley and Danny O’Flynn opened up a three point lead 0-5 to 0-2. Mallow came back well. They relied mainly on Sean Hayes for scores. Hayes struck two frees.
Danny O’Flynn with a point in the 15th minute made it 0-6 to 0-4. A foul on Sean Hayes led to a penalty with Hayes’s effort coming back off the crossbar and being cleared by Cian Collins.
In the 23rd minute Hayes with another free levelled at 0-6 each. The Rathluirc side had points by James Kennedy and Danny O’Flynn before Hayes struck another free from a tight angle 0-8 to 0-7.
The same player tied up the game at 0-8 by the 28th minute. Coming up to half-time Danny O’Flynn pointed a free for Charleville. In injury time Donal Relihan worked well for Sean Hayes who blasted to the net giving his side a 1-8 to 0-9 interval lead.
On the changeover James Kennedy had two points while Aaron Woods pointed for Mallow. Good play by P J Copse led to an equalising point by Tim Hawe. Sean Hayes edged Mallow ahead with another free.
In the 40th minute a free by Danny O’Flynn was finished to the net by Tim Hawe as Charleville moved 1-12 to 1-10 clear. Danny O’Flynn pointed another free. Mallow came back strong Sean Hayes was to the fore adding two points and a goal from a free that put them 2-12 to 1-13 ahead.
Charleville never gave up, late points by Danny O’Flynn and James Kennedy had them level for the 5th time 2-12 to 1-15. In injury time Danny O’Flynn seemed to have secured the winner but a foul on Conor Hannon deep in added time led to a pointed free by Sean Hayes as both sides shared the points.
For Charleville it was their second draw in this league while Mallow lost their opening game to Courcey Rovers.
