U15: Vincent's/Curraha off to winning start
August 23, 2010
St. Vincent's/Curraha 3-14
Summerhill 0-8
St. Vincent's/Curraha got of to a winning start in style as they ran out easy winners in this U15 league game against Summerhill.
In the opening quarter points from James McEntee (2), Evan McGovern (1) and Niall Moriarty (1) put the home side four points to one ahead. Then a free kick from James McEntee, which the Summerhill goalkeeper failed to hold, ended up in the net which increased the lead further. Summerhill responded well and scored 5 more points in the half, but points from Moriarty and David Toner (0-1) kept the goal as the difference between the teams at half time, 1-6 to 0-6.
After the restart Summerhill scored the first point and St.Vincents/Curraha needed some inspiration. They got this from captain David Toner at centre half back as he carried the ball forward at every opportunity and set up scores for others. Conor Moriarty was introduced in the half forward line and linked up well. Roy Moore was in superb shooting form and he scored 2-4 in a 15-minute spell, while he and Evan McGovern dominated the centre of the field. Full back Jamie Harford cut out any attacking threats shown by the away side, while Conor Joyce in the corner was inspirational in setting up attack after attack. Donal McDermott, Shane O'Brien and Niall Moriarty (0-1 each) also added to the Summerhill demise.
St. Vincents / Curraha - Conor White, Sean Moore, Jamie Harford, Conor Joyce, Ciaran Brangan, David Toner (0-1), Donal McDermott (0-1), James McEntee (1-2), Evan McGovern (0-1), Robert Reid, Shane O' Brien (0-1), Sean Hanrahan, Andrew Coyle, Roy Moore (2-5), Niall Moriarty (0-3).
