Senior Championship The Downs 2:11 Mullingar Shamrocks 1:10
On Sunday we played our last game in the league section of the championship needing to get a result from the game to avoid a playoff and put qualification into the quarter final in our own hands. Playing with the wind The Downs started brightly and went quickly 1:1 ahead . Mullingar responded with a fortuitous goal which got them back into the game, they maintained the momentum and went into the lead which they held at halftime 1:8 to 1:5. On the resumption The Downs played with great purpose and brought the game to Mullingar Shamrocks scoring first we were level within 10 minutes. We improved all over the pitch creating more scoring opportunities while confining Shamrocks to two points. This game was our performance of the championship and earned us a deserved win which puts us second in the division. Team: Ciaran McCormack, Stephen Cleary, Niall Nolan, Mark Dalton, Jack Hogan, Greg Crowley, Trevor McCormack, Dean Clarke, Brendan Murtagh, Luke Loughlin, PJ Maguire, Declan Lynam, Luke Folan, John Smyth, Shane Power.
