Seniors safely over St Johns
A super pass from Eugene Keating to Eoin Fanning for a great goal was a telling response from our lads that pretty much defined the game. Keating and Micháel followed with points and we never looked back.
Defensively we were very solid and contained Johns to some well taken long range points but they never got through to really threaten Finno in goals. I had to apologise to Stephen that I had just put down the camera when he made an absolutely brilliant high catch late in the game but he has promised to do it again in the next round and I will do my best to snap it to share with our readers.
Fionn is back to his best at full back, Glen Hazely gave a man-of-the-match performance on the right wing, Eugene up front was also super but it would be hard to find fault with any of the lads. Ross and Shane put in a huge amount of work in the middle and Eoin Fanning and Gary Sweeney (until he made way for an equally fast and very hard working Alan Foy) were flying in the half line.
An encouraging feature was the strength of the substitutions, we seem to have a good strong panel, hope I'm not tempting anything.
Team: Stephen Finnegan, Dave Galvin, Fionn Carney, Ronan Walsh(Barry Ryan), Glen Hazely, Brian Sextron(Eoin Boyne), Gavin McArdle, Ross Hazely (John Coughlan), Shane O'Connor, Eoin Fanning, Ken Sweeney(Stephen Cunningham),, Gary Sweeney (Alan Foy), Eugene Keating, Nigel Dunne, Michael McCarthy.
