Training
Training for the intermediate and reserve teams continues this week at Park View Academy
(N15 3QR) on Wednesday 27 th March at 7:30pm.
Results
The intermediate team welcome CuChullains to Downhills Park last Saturday in the first
round of the McAleer and Rushe Murphy Cup. Eire Og gave 5 debuts to new players who
gave a fresh impetus to their play throughout the game. In a cagey first-half, the teams
exchanged point for point for most of the half before a late flurry of points from the home
team and in particular captain for the day Stephen O’Keeffe, gave the hosts a 2-point lead at
half time.
CuChullains started the second half on the front foot and shortly after hitting the post, they
found the net to give them a 1-5 to 0-7 lead. This seemed to spur on the home team who
levelled shortly with a very neat point from Caolan Conroy before a jinking run through the
defence by Ronan Campfield ended with the midfielder firing his shot into the bottom corner.
Eire Og gradually built on their lead during the second half before finishing up nine-point
winners, 1-14 to 1-5.
A great start by the lads who will look to take this momentum into their battle with Tir
Chonaill Gaels on Saturday March 30 th in the preliminary round of the Intermediate
Championship.
