G.A.A CLUB NOTES
DATE: 27 APRIL 2015
U16 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Na Fianna U16 Footballers had the toughest possible opening rd of the Championship as they faced the favourites to win it out St Broughans last Monday week in Geashill and unfortunately they could not cause an upset as St Broughans claimed a comfortable win on a scoreline of 4-14 to 0-06. Na Fianna were keeping in touch early on as St Broughans had opened up a lead of 0-07 to 0-04 after 25 mins. Then came the turning point of the game when Na Fianna centre back Brian Keogh was black carded and from the resultant free St Broughans got in to score the first goal which saw them lead at the break 1-07 to 0-04. In the second half there was to be no way back for Na Fianna as St Broughans cut loose scoring a further 3-07 to just 2 points for Na Fianna to wrap it up.
NA FIANNA: Ryan Kinahan, Eoin Corcoran, Aaron McKenna, Conor Brophill, Anthony Malone, Brian Kehoe, Conor McGuinness, Joey Kinahan, Conor Langton, Cathal Brady, Reece Seery, Sean Beatty (0-01), Kaelyn Thompson (0-05), Ger Plunkett, Jamie Ballesty.
