JUNIOR A:

Wednesday, May 25th at 8pm in Croghan

 

Aftera five and a half week break, the Elphin Junior team, were back in Tansey Cupaction against Shannon Gaels’ first fifteen last Wednesday evening in Croghan.

 

Despitethe poor weather conditions and it being a mid-week fixture, Elphin playersturned up in numbers and the management team were delighted to have a panel oftwenty seven players available for selection.

 

Aftera poor start, Elphin recovered well to go in at the break just a point inarrears on a score line of six points to five.

Agood start to the second half provided Elphin with a few opportunities to turnaround the deficit but a few near misses were all they had to show for theirefforts.

Thosewides proved very costly as Shannon Gaels were much more clinical with theirfinishing and ran up a second half tally of 2-6 without reply to wincomfortably by a flattering eleven points.
