Raheen Senior Footballers face an uphill battle to qualify for the semi finals of the Senior B Championship after losing out to Durrow in their Rd 5 encounter last Saturday evening in O'Connor Pk, Tullamore on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-09 and now must win their final 2 games. Durrow opened the scoring with a point straight from the throw in and added 2 more before Raheen got off the mark with a point on 5 mins. Over the next 15 mins Durrow controlled the possession as they added 4 points to Raheen's 1. Then in the final 10 mins of the half Raheen came back into it slotting over 4 points to Dirrow's 2 so at the break there was just 3 points separating them as Durrow led 0-09 to 0-06. Durrow increased their lead to 5 with 2 points inside the first min. Thereafter for most of the next 25 mins Raheen dominated the possession but could only manage to add 3 points to Durrow's 2. Then in the final min Durrow sealed it with a well taken goal.

Na Fianna made the early running and had opened up a deserved lead of 5 points to 1 after 20 mins but Gracefield fought back with 4 points in a row in the final 10 mins to tie it up at the break 0-05 apiece. Na Fianna got the ideal start to the second half as they scored their first goal inside the first min when Lee Mulpeter caught an overhead ball on the edge of the square and immediately fired his shot to the net. Gracefield again came back with 4 points to Na Fianna's 2 over the next 15 mins. Then on 20 mins Na Fianna appeared to wrap it up with their second goal when Adam Cuddy drove a pildriver of a shot from about 30yds out into the corner of the net. 2 more points for Na Fianna followed to extend the lead to 6 points Gracefield were not giving up and they added a point before getting through to score a goal in the final min to ensure a tense finish but Na Fianna managed to hold on to clinch the win.
