Junior All-Ireland glory for Canovee
February 18, 2008

Canovee captain James Scanlan
Canovee completed their dream voyage when defeating Rock by 1-8 to 0-5 in the All-Ireland junior club football championship final at Croke Park.
The rest of the Rebel County may be on strike but there was nothing but solidarity and unity in the Canovee camp as they powered past a side containing Tyrone senior star Ciaran Gourley in their ranks.
After the opening two points of the final were shared, the winners took control of the first half to register 1-4 without reply.
Kevin Walsh pointed and Paul Healy added his second score of the match before Walsh found the net for the game's only goal three minutes from the interval. The onslaught continued and Rock were crumbling as Walsh and Denis O'Sullivan added to the tally to give the Munster champs a 1-5 to 0-1 half-time cushion.
The match was over as a contest long before Rock captain Martin McCreesh drove a penalty wide in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
