SFL Div 2: Fighting Cocks 0-1 Clonmore 0-18

November 8, 2018

Clonmore dominated throughout and played some lovely football.  Hard to single out individuals for praise in what was a great team performance but John McGrath was outstanding – winning practically every ball played into him and when not laying it off intelligently he kicked three fine points, the first of which was a brilliant effort off the outside of his boot. Owen Coleman, Niall Humphries and Gavin Byrne also wreaked havoc on the Cock’s defence while the defence were strong and decisive in snuffing ot any potential danger. Unfortunately, Owen suffered what looked like a serious shoulder injury in the second half – we wish him a speedy recovery. Next game is against St Patricks of Tullow at home on 13 May.
 
Teams: Collie McGrath, Paul Hogan, Shane Murphy , John Kelly, Paul Byrne, Bobby Rooney, Willie Byrne, Ronan Doyle, Gavin Byrne (0-7,5f)), Michael Murray (0-1), Niall Humphries (0-1), Jamie Walsh (0-1), Owen Coleman (0-3), John McGrath (0-3), Kevin McCarney (0-1). Subs: Pauric Lawlor, David McCarney (0-1), Mick Smith, Mark D Byrne, Mark A Byrne.
