ST PATRICK’S
Another week met with another storm caused more disruption to some of the scheduled matches that were set to happen at the weekend.
Although, our Senior men had the narrowest of wins over Avondale winning 0-10 to 2-5 away in Ballinakill.
It was Friday night football in very wet conditions, our lads were trailing at halftime but they showed how difficult it is for other teams to beat them as they pulled back they did enough to get a one-point victory.
Midfielder Matthew Traynor really stood up in the closing stages taking control of his part of the pitch.
Shane Murley worked his way up the park kicking a couple of long dangerous balls into the square to danger man and captain Tommy Kelly before he was fouled and awarded a penalty which was slotted away by Stephen Duffy in what proved to be a vital goal in the match. That’s two wins from two in the league as their focus now turns to Sunday’s game at home against AGB in a repeat of the 2019 championship final.
Our Junior A’s will begin their campaign away to Aughrim on Saturday, March 7.
Dean Healy, Paddy O’Keane, Wayne Doyle and Niall Donnelly all flew over to London with the county footballers as they got a relatively comfortable 2-10 to 5-9 victory. Well done to all the lads involved especially our four clubmen.
Unfortunately, the outcome of Wicklow Seniors hurlers wasn’t the same as they suffered a 4-29 to 2-14 versus a strong Offaly side. Hard luck to all the team especially our two clubmen Andy and George O’Brien.
