Donaghmoyne 1-8 Clones 1-8
The Clones under-16 team had their 3rd league game last Friday night (24/4/09) away to Donaghmoyne . This team took part in 2 tough opening league games and this again proved to be no different.
In what proved to be a very tight match throughout it was the Clones team who will feel that it was they who may have dropped the additional point.
Although Donaghmoyne led for long periods, it was Clones who had the better chances to win the game having also had to cope with a few home team decisions not to award penalties with 13metre frees been awarded instead.
But the Clones team can take heart from this performance away from home, as they never gave up with Sub Wayne O’Dowd grabbing an important goal after great work by Kevin Tighe who worked tireless all evening. From that point there would have been only one winner had time now been called.
Best for St. Tiarnach’s were Conan McGonigle, Jake Rehill, Dillon Hibbet and Colm O’Gorman.
Clones Team:
Conon McGonigle, Jake Rehill, Dean Brogan, Shane Brady, James McGlinchey, James Gibson, Dillon Hibbet, Colm O’Gorman, Lee McMahon, Kevin Tighe, Shane Sweeney, David Freeman. Subs David Newell, Cian O’Connor, Wayne O’Dowd (all used).
Next match Friday 1st May. Throw up 6.30pm.
