Gormley UPVC Senior Championship:
We travelled to Clontibret Saturday evening to play our neighours Castleblayney. Blayney started lively with 2 points but we answered that with two Barry Mc Ginn frees, further points by Mark Murphy and Shane Mc Manus and another by Barry Mc Ginn left us witha goal of blayney going into the dying minutes of the first half, a goal by Niall Connolly on the stroke of half time left it all square. Blayney started the second half well with 2 unanswered points, another Mc Ginn point took us with 2 points of blayney, they got another 2 points which gave them a 4 point advantage with 6 minutes left on the clock, a fine point by Conor Marray left it to be a tense finish, a darting run up the wind by Damien Ward led to him being pulloed down and we were awarded a penalty which was brillantly taken by Barry Mc Ginn taking the game to a draw. So into extra time we went it was blayney who enjoyed extra time with 2 goals in the first 5 minutes and we just never recovered, but huge credit goes to our boys as they emptied the tanks and done everything that was asked of them.
U16,s played Tyholland on Thursday, this team had a extremely tough year playing some very good teams and some bad beatings, but they stuck together as they have been doing all down the years and they were rewarded with their first win of the season. Thats the U16,s wrapped up for this year.
U12,s lost semi final to a strong Clontibret side.
