This was a very physical and highly charged game with lots of stoppages throughout. As usual it was our second half (which lasted 40 minutes ) performance that gave us a narrow victory.Castle got off to a fine start getting 3 points inside the first 5 minutes. Eoin O Malley, who made a number of blockdowns, worked his way through for a goal for us.Josh 0 Keeffe put ML Hoare through for a point.It was all Castle for the next 15 minutes scoring 4 points without reply. Liam 0 Malley pointed for us , Max 0 Brien won possession in midfield, send in a high ball, and with Chris Lowe bearing down on goal ,the ball finished in the Castle net. The home side won the kickout went upfield and goaled to leave the half time score Castlegregory 1-7 Ballymac 2-2
Keelan and Dara Reagan got our first points on the restart with help from Eoin and Chris Lowe. D Reagan converted from a free after Dara Keane was fouled, while Barry Lyons brought off a fine save.James McDonnell flicked a kickout to ML Hoare who raced through and pointed.to put us 2 points up after 6 minutes. Ten minutes later came Castle,s first point of the half. When the game resumed after various stoppages Tadhg Brick and Liam o Malley pointed for us .The home side pressed hard for a goal but fine defending by David Long, Eddie Rodgers, and Gary Horan kept them at bay and they had to settle for an injury time point. We extend best wishes for a speedy recovery to Dara Reagan and Josh O Keeffe who were injured during the game.
