August 20, 2019



ADULT (Daoine Fásta):

 

Urney 0-12

Augher 0-12

 

Urney hosted Augher today in the ACL, with the game throwing in at 1pm. A strong breeze played a big part in today's game with both teams making use of it in each half. Urney started brightly thanks to a converted 45 from Johnny Lafferty. Jamie McAleer followed up with a free before a Johnny Lafferty free left Urney 3 up after 10 mins. Augher responded with their first point on 18 mins before Fergal McNulty pointed from play to leave it 4-1 after 19 mins. Augher then scored 2 on the bounce to leave it 4-3 on 26 mins. Urney finished the half brighter with 2 scores from Johnny Lafferty (1 free and 1 from play) and a Fergal McNulty free left the half time score Urney 0-7 Augher 0-3.

 

Stephen Lafferty replaced Jamie McAleer at halftime as a result of an injury picked up in first half and Urney started the 2nd half where they left off in the first firing over 2 quick scores. A Johnny Lafferty free and a Stephen Lafferty point from play left it 9-3 to Urney. Augher responded with 2 scores before another Johnny Lafferty free left it 10-5 to Urney on 35 mins. This was to be Urney's last score for 15 mins. Augher upped the tempo and scored 2 points to leave it 10-7 on 48 mins. A Johnny Lafferty point from play increased the gap to 4 again on 50 mins, but again Augher rallied and scored 5 in a row to lead in injury time 11-12. However Fergal McNulty calmly slotted a point from play in 63rd min to leave it 12 a piece. Both sides spurned chances to win the game but the referee blew the final whistle on 64 mins and both teams shared the points. Final score Urney 0-12 Augher 0-12.
