Blitz in Ballynacargy.

Our Under 10's and 8's enjoyed a very enjoyable blitz in Ballynacargy on Saturday morning. We fielded two teams in each age group with every player getting loads of football which is what these blitzes are all about. Thanks to the host club for running such a well organised event with teams from Garrycastle also participating on the day.

 

Under 16 Championship Division 1.

 Lilliput Gaels                       5-05               
Shandonagh                            2-12
Shandonagh were the visitors to Ballinagore on Monday evening for a first round championship encounter. After the opening ten minutes it looked like our lads were certainties to garner the two points on offer as we hit the opposition for three goals but by half time Shandonagh recovered well to go in on level terms on a scoreline of 3-01 to 1-07. The second half continued in this vein with neither side able to pull away on the scoreboard. With ten minutes left a converted penalty from Shandonagh put them in the driving seat until a well worked move was finished expertly by Peter Murphy to the net to put us in front with five minutes left on the clock. A missed penalty from the Gaels could have proved costly but we managed to weather several late Shandonagh attacks to hold on for a tight win. As in our previous league outing our goalkeeper, Peter Dalton, pulled off several outstanding saves proving that his intercounty call up was well justified. Well done to all the lads who turned out, especially the under 14's, as numbers are tight at this age group.
Panel; Peter Dalton, Cathal Kelly, Ryan Boyne, Sean Kincaid, Odhran Gavigan, Tiernan McMahon, David Maloney, Shane Doran, Peter Reynolds, Cathal Elliffe, Warric Kirby, Cody Finnane, Peter Murphy, Luke Seery, Shane Corcoran, Jack Gannon.
