FL Div 3: Carnaross' search for first win continues

May 22, 2016

Junior D championship debut for John L.McGee of Carnaross

Carnaross 0-7 Dunsany 1-9

The search for a first League win continues for Carnaross after yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Dunsany.

The opening exchanges were tight with both sides level on 0-2 each after seven minutes with Charles Brogan and John L McGee pointing for Carnaross. The home side went on to dominate for a period and opened up a four point advantage and could have been further ahead but for a good stop from Carnaross keeper Shane McNiffe. Carnaross finished the half well and two converted frees from Paul Donoghue left Dunsany with just a two point lead at half-time, 0-6 to 0-4.

Dunsany got the second-half off to the perfect start with a goal two minutes in. Dermot McGee pointed for Carnaross and was then very unlucky not to have a goal moments later when his effort came back off the post with the keeper beaten. Dunsany added another free before Carnaross reduced the margin further with two frees from John L McGee with ten minutes remaining. However, this was as close as they got to the home side who went on to add two more points to seal a five point win.
