Senior B Football Championship.

Durrow 2-11 Ballycumber 0-11.

Ballycumber bowed out of this year's Tullamore Court Hotel Offaly Senior B Football Championship when Durrow gained some revenge for their County Final defeat two years ago. Adrian Kelly started the scoring in this game played under lights in Tubber on Friday night, with a point in the second minute. Joe Lowry added two and Nigel Grennan kicked a good point on the turn. During this period Ballycumber created two good goal scoring chances, including a penalty, which were saved. Durrow got through very easily for a goal on twenty minutes, which gave them the lead that they did not lose for the remainder of the game. Joe Lowry pointed a free to leave the half time score at 1-4 to 0-5. Adrian Kelly again got the first point of the second half in the 2nd minute. Durrow then hit a purple patch in which the scored five points in five minutes to go 1-9 to 0-6 ahead. Adrian added another point a minute before Durrow got through for their second goal. The introduction of substitutes added determination to the Ballycumber attack and they dominated for ten minutes. Points by Joe Lowry, John Egan and Adrian were the only reward. Many of their attacks by stopped by the player in possession being hauled down. Durrow added two points to their total and now face Shamrocks in the semi final. Ballycumber season is now finished and after the very poor start it was great to see 28 players training. Thank you to all the players for their dedication. The management team of Colm Quinn, Ciaran Grennan, Paul Gavin, Cathal Daly, Daniel Boland, Alan Kelly and Yvonne Galvin and all who helped provide food and help throughout the year deserve our thanks.
