Adult Football;

Our senior men were narrowly defeated on Sunday by Gortin in Páirc Mhic Sioghair, Gortin started the better running into a 1-2 to 0-1 lead within 10 minutes however Strabane responded well after going down to 14 men. A point each from Sean Doherty and Haydn McNamee was followed by a well taken goal from David Taylor after the ball came off the post. Gortin levelled the game before half time to leave it 1-3 apiece.

 

The second half was again very tight and the game went score for score for long periods of the half, Ruairi Gormley scored Strabane’s final point before Gortin scored a free kick with the last kick of the game to leave the final score 1-10 to 1-9.

 

Our Reserves picked up their first victory of the season with a one-point win over Gortin, the final score was 1-6 to 0-8. Anthony Crossan got the winning goal for Strabane with only three minutes remaining.

 

This Sunday our adult men will travel to Moortown, the reserve game will throw in at 2.15pm and the Seniors at 3.45pm. All support for the lads would be much appreciated.
