A very brave heart-filled performance from Castledaly Rosemount was
almost enough to overthrow the strong Athlone team but the winner
strong finish stole the honours in final minutes. Goalkeeper Jordan
Nugent picked up an injury early in the game but Cathal Dolan capably
stepped between the posts. A thoroughly entertaining game from start
to finish but missed chances proved costly and scores from free kicks
from Kevin Stone Sean Pettit plus scores in play from Ben Foxe and Dan
Heavin had us trailing until a top class goal from play from lively
Lorcan Daly took the lead and ended a nervous first half performance
1-7(10) to Athlone 0-8(8). The lead could have been greater as a
quality team effort set Dan Heavin through for a well taken goal, but
the referee judged a foul earlier in proceedings and strangely opted
to call back play rather than play advantage.
Athlone started strongest in second half but scores from Aaron
Nugent and Lorcan Daly from play plus Ben Foxe free kick and Sean
Pettit 45 free kick retrieved the lead. A black card for Dan Heavin
meant both teams had been penalised in similar fashion, but Athlone
hit three scores without reply was enough to clinch victory in the
last minute of play. 1-11(14) to 0-15(15)
A great team performance and we can look forward to much much more
from this young group of players in the years ahead. Well done to the
squad, the management and selectors, and everyone else from Rosemount
and Castledaly involved for a great job all year.
