Na Fianna Report

 

Na Fianna made their 3rd outing in the Junior championship playing Wolfe Tones in Trim. Na Fianna started with the first point from Shane Barrett in the 4th min. Both Teams had a number of wides. Na Fianna needed to use their 1st sub in the 7th minute when Evan Henrick pulled out with an injury. Shortly thereafter Connor Heffernan stopped on target shot from Wolfe Tones by punching the ball out over the line.

They followed that up with 2 points giving them a 4 point lead by the 13th minute. Na Fianna had few chances as the Tones defence was very strong and the few opportunities where just wide. The Na Fianna defense had plenty of hard work to do as Tones advanced and did turnover several attacks and with the goalie called to stop another shot on goal.
