Exciting clash in Roche

August 12, 2020

Naomh Fionnbarra 2-10(16)
Roche Emmets 4-13(25)

Naomh Fionnbarra and Roche Emmets played a high scoring game in very humid conditions in this Division 5A League clash in Roche. A 2nd goal at the end of the first half gave the Roche men an 8 point cushion at the break. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-4(7) Roche Emmets 2-9(15)

The second half was nip and tuck as the Togher men continuously took the game to their opponents.  All of the subs brought on made a difference especially Eoghan Osborne back after a long injury lay off and Ryan Woods making his first appearance in over a year! A shout out to Callum Halpenny who made his adult team debut too.  Unfortunately, it was to no avail as the Barrs could not take the lead and finished the game 9 points in arrears.  Hard luck lads. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 2-10(16) Roche Emmets 4-13(25)

Naomh Fionnbarra team:  Matthew O'Reilly 0-1(45), Luke Kennedy, James Butterly 1-1, Brendan Simms; Niall Woods, Colin McGrane, Callum Halpenny; Gary Matthews, Michael McArdle 0-2(1f); Oisin Madden, Nicholas Butterly 1-1, Martin O'Neill, Conor Woods, Padraic Murphy 0-2 (2f), Patrick McArdle 0-1.  Subs:  Ryan Woods for Conor Woods, Eoghan Osborne 0-2 for Callum Halpenny.
