We are in another final!! Following our victory over Stacks B last Wednesday evening, we are through to the final of Coiste Tra-li League Division 2, a competition we have won previously.
Both teams found scores difficult to come by in the wet and gloom and several scoring chances were missed. While we were the better team throughout it was not until a late goal was scored that we were sure of victory. In a low scoring first half the sides were tied at 2 points each after 20 minutes. We had gone 4 points to 2 ahead at half time our scores coming from Dara Reagan 0-2 Josh and Cillian Gallagher. Our defence, in which David Nolan, Tadhg Brick and Eddie Rodgers stood out, limited stacks to a single score in the second half. Dara Reagan, Dara Keane and Cathal Dunne added more points to leave us 7 to 3 ahead midway. Another point by Dara Reagan stretched our lead and then Keelan Brosnan who had just come on, drilled the ball to the stacks net to seal victory for us.
