Crookedwood GAA Notes
Senior B Championship
Crookedwood 3-13 Cullion 0-13. Although we were already assured of a place in the semi-final, there was no relaxing from the lads on Sunday last, as we powered past Cullion, with our goal scoring proving decisive. Our opponents needed to get a result, but it was ourselves who were the hungrier and better team throughout, apart from a fifteen-minute patch in the second half where Cullion mounted a challenge. By the first water break, we were 1-3 to 0-3 ahead, and had stretched our lead to six by half-time, with Barry O’Mara prominent in the first half, helping himself to 2-4 of our total, with Noel Yourell adding a point from play. We started the second half in similar fashion and pushed out our lead to nine points before Cullion responded. Indeed, they controlled the game for fifteen minutes, outscoring us by five points to lessen our lead to four but we didn’t panic. Brian McLoughlin with a point, and then Ger Brennnan with a goal, punished some slack defending to put us well in the ascendency again. Noel Yourell added another point and a pointed free from Barry put the seal on a decent performance, with room for improvement. Brownstown will provide the opposition in the semi-final next weekend. Team; A.Savage, K.Orme, D.Grifferty, A.Bate, J.Nally, F.Óg Brennan, S.Savage, R.Scally, S.McGovern, I.McGovern, E.Nally, N.Yourell (0-3), B.McCarthy (0-1), B.McLoughlin (0-1), B.O’Mara (2-8).
