Division 3 v The Downs

We are still awaiting our first win in Division 3 of the All-County Football League after The Downs recorded a double-scores victory, 2-16 to 1-8, over us in The Downs last Thursday evening.

The hosts led by just three points, 0-7 to 0-4, at half-time, but took over after the restart to run out comfortable winners. A Jamie Stone goal was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing second half performance from us.

Team: Thomas Barrett; Darragh Coffey, Alan Fennell, James Fox; Brendan McMahon, Shaun Pidgeon, Colin Draper; Dean Fitzgerald, Mel Kiernan; Kevin Smith, Jamie Stone, Niall Carey; James Finnegan, Brendan Nannery, Nigel Scally. Subs used: Keith Corcoran, David Fennell, Ryan Coughlan, Dylan Maloney and Finbarr Coffey.
