Tir Chonaill Gaels Club Notes – Monday 7^th August 2017

Match Results

Congratulations to Paul Coggins and everyone involved with our Junior Team as they had a fantastic win in Round 1 of the Junior Football Championship. The Young Guns started the match brightly and rushed into a 2 point lead after 10 minutes, but McCurtains got themselves back into the game and levelled the match up 0-3 to 0-3 with 10 minutes remaining of the first half. The Gaels pushed on before half time however and some fine play saw them head into the break 4 points up on a score line of 0-7 to 0-3.

The 2^nd half started much the same way and a lovely chipped finish from Rory Jennings over the McCurtains Keeper 5 minutes after the restart saw the first goal of the game with the Gaels solidifying their lead. McCurtains hit back with a couple scores however, and managed to grab a goal of their own midway through the 2^nd half to put the pressure on the Young Guns. Thankfully they stood up to the test and managed to kick on thanks to a 2^nd goal from Ryan Elliott. The lads withstood some final McCurtains attacks to run out eventual winners and register their first win of this year’s Championship Campaign.

Final Score: TCG Juniors 2-11 Thomas McCurtains 1-09
