Sligo U-21 ‘B’ Football C’ship Final

Curry

Tubbercurr­y-C’cool 1-7 0-6

A PURPOSEFUL second-half display set up Curry’s four-point defeat of Tubbercurr­y-Clooanacoo­l in last Saturday’s Sligo U-21 ‘B’ Football Championsh­ip final at Bunninadde­n Community Park. It wasn’t all plain sailing for the winners, whose victory leaned on Jack Duffy’s contributi­on of 1-1 in the second period. Tubbercurr­y-Cloonacool started well and were leading at the break, 0-5 to 0-3, after first-half scores from Conor Matthews, who starred in his side’s semi-final defeat of Easkey-St Farnan’s, Aaron Perry, Liam Carty and Ben Henry.

Curry turned things around in the second-half, outscoring their opponents 1-4 to 0-1, with their Sligo U-20 contingent of Dylan McLoughlin, Brian Byrne, Adam Gallagher and Keith Feeley proving influentia­l.

The beaten finalists only scored once in the second-half when Aaron Perry pointed. Curry’s six scorers on the day included Jack Duffy (1-1),

Eoghan Sweeney, who shot 0-2, Adam Gallagher, Oisin Frizzell, Brian Byrne and Luke Fleming.

Afterwards the trophy was presented to Curry’s joint-captains, Oisin Murphy and Keith Feeley, by Curry’s Terence Marren, who was representi­ng Sligo GAA. Marren is the County Board’s children’s officer.
