U16 Football Championship Semi-Final

Lilliput Gaels 7-16 Multyfarnham 3-05

Our U16 footballers played host to Multyfarnham in the semi-final of the championship on Saturday in sunny Ballinagore and came away with a comprehensive win after a dominant display. Right from the throw in, our lads took the game to our opponents with Cody Finnane scoring an early goal to settle us in. Multy worked tirelessly to keep our forwards at bay and despite hitting the woodwork twice in the opening half, we were in a commanding position at half time, leading 3-07 to 0-02. In the second half, we were a bit wasteful early on with a number of wides but soon got the scoreboard ticking over with a selection of fine points. To their credit, Multy never gave up and were rewarded with well taken goals towards the end. However, in their efforts to close the gap, their back line was stretched and we finished strong with a few well taken goals ourselves to finish comprehensive winners in the end. This was a fine team performance with all the lads playing well and working hard for each other. We now play Inny Shamrocks in the final and with only three points separating the sides when we met earlier in the summer, it promises to be a battle royale. Well done lads! Team: Lorcan Kiernan, Ryan Boyne, Mark Killian, Tiernan McMahon, Zack Wright, Luke Seery, Darragh Seery, Cian Gavigan, David Jackson, Peter Reynolds, Peter Dalton, Cody Finnane, Conor Murphy. Subs used: Mark Kiernan, Cathal Kelly, Sean Kincaid, Warwic Kirby. Rest of Panel: Adam McGoldrick, Jack O'Donnell, Jack Gannon, Peter Murphy, David Maloney, Ian Kiernan.
