Late showing not enough in VdeP final
VdeP Cup Final Ballymun Kickhams 1-12 St Sylvesters 1-09 A good late surge was not enough to regain the Vincent de Paul Cup from Ballymun in a lively final at Pairc Cicaem. Playing with the wind in the first half we were not as clinical as the Mun and went in six points down at the break, Michael and Eoin our most successful forwards. Mike was a little isolated as we played too deep to be dangerous. The second half was a different story, we upped the pace and drove forward in a much more determined fashion.
Brian Sexton won hard ball in the middle and injected a bit of urgency, Gary, Collie Mc with Jockser and Shane got a grip of the middle and Alan Foy hit a few super points. Jack came in at full forward and had an immediate impact, goaling off a perfect setup by Sweeney and pointing off the next attack in similar fashion.
We finished driving forward but couldn't get the goal we needed. Decent performance, disappointed not win it.
