Seniors disappointed at Raheny
AFL1 Raheny 3-12 St Sylvesters 3-11 We rallied from an eight point deficit to draw level, went behind to a free and Dominic dropped a long levelling effort just short to leave us disappointed losing our second game in the league. Pity really, I felt we deserved the draw for a great fightback but we also made it very difficult for ourselves. We went behind early but a goal fro Niall Coughlan and points from Gavin and Micháel brought us back to two points behind at the break.
Unfortunately we forgot to come out after the break, Raheny hitting two goals and some sweet points while we only had a Gary point and a nice long range effort from Shane to show for our efforts.
Pictures hereRobbie called a bunch of changes, I felt he was just giving lads a run but it proved to be no such thing. Jack for Ross, Mark for Niall, Paul Connolly for Jockser and Scrappy for Ronan seemed to breath life into our efforts. Micháel broke two tackles to goal, Jack and Shane dominated the middle, Beano was foraging an setup MIchael for another but we hit a number of point efforts short when we might have taken the lead.
It would have nice to steal the draw but it wasn't top be.
