Semi Final Murphy Cup

Moindearg - 1-10  St. Brendan's - 0-12

We played St Brendan's in the Semi Final of the Murphy Cup last Saturday in Ruislip. Whilst we won by a point, it was a very evenly matched contest. St. Brendan's aided by what must be said was a very strong breeze started the better with a couple of quick points in succession. Moindearg took a while to settle and struggled to deal with the strong breeze and the quick start of their opponents. In truth we were somewhat lucky to go into the break only 9 points down.

After re-grouping at half time and with the wind now on their backs Moindearg now became the aggressors. With the half time introduction of Darren Mc Gowan proving pivotal they quickly halved the St. Brendans lead with two fine scores and a well worked goal  finished off by Sean Mc Donagh which would later prove to be crucial. The game was levelled up with a fine score from an Alan Dunne free with 10 minutes to go. The teams swapped scores and another Dunne free with two minutes to go proved to be the winning score but not before St. Brendan's had a good chance in the Moindearg 21 but some disciplined defending thwarted the chance and Moindearg came clear with the ball to the sound of the final whistle.

The final of the Murphy Cup is scheduled for this Saturday, where we play St Josephs with a 4.30pm throw in at Ruislip. All support is welcome.
