Tir Chonaill Gaels Club Notes – Monday 8th October 2018 Seniors The Seniors took on North London Shamrocks in the Semi Final of the Championship yesterday afternoon at McGovern Park in Ruislip. Played in perfect conditions, the Gaels got off to the best start possible when Killian Butler and Brian Mullin both found the back of the Shamrocks net inside the opening 2 minutes. NLS rallied back to convert a penalty to score a goal of their own, but 5 points from the TCG forward line before a Kevin Rafferty goal on the stroke of half time saw the lads head into the break leading on a score line of 3-5 to 1-4.

With NLS down to 14 men for the start of the 2 nd half, Liam Gavaghan began to punish the Shamrocks indiscipline by converting 5 frees from the 21 yard line. Another red card for NLS midway through the 2 nd half all but killed the game as Ryan Kearney, Killian Butler, Liam Gallagher and Captain Fantastic Anthony McDermott all picked off scores before Brian Mullin grabbed his 2 nd goal of the game to see the lads safely through to the final.

Final Score: TCG 4-14 NLS 1-4
