ACL Div.2: Mullingar Shamrocks 2-12 St Loman’s 0-14. 

 

A deserved victory for Mullingar Shamrocks in Lakepoint Park which brings ACL Div.2 safety a little closer.

Shamrocks led from start to finish and with the assistance of a significant wind held an interval lead of 1-7 to 0-4. Brian Farrell opened the scoring with a fisted point; a great run by Dylan Franzoni created an opening for Trevor Keena who hit a fine two-pointer. Dónal Lane added another hand-passed point before St Loman’s pointed in the fifteenth minute. Alan Cashman, with the purest of strikes, and Dylan Franzoni pointed to extend the lead to 0-6 to 0-1. Loman’s added a brace of points before a Nathan Smith shot dropped under the bar for a goal. A Ross Corroon point after a big break by Brian Farrell completed the first half scoring. 

Dónal Lane repeated his first-half hand-passing scoring act to extend the lead, followed by a Ross Corroon pointed free that resulted from a powerful run by Donnacha Maguire (one of many by Donnacha on the night). Shane Mulderry pointed for St Loman’s as did their full-forward. A Gavin Pierce point kept the Shamrocks scoreboard ticking over as St Loman’s added a brace of points. Gavin’s point began deep in defence when a great block by Efe denied St Loman’s a goal; it was a hand block that sounded like a foot block but the referee was on the spot to adjudicate. A Niall Hannigan goal following great work by Donnacha established a winning position for Shamrocks but in the modern game no lead is secure (2-10 to 0-7).

St Loman’s enjoyed their best spell at this stage and a couple of two pointers and a single point sliced five points from the lead. Ageless Paddy Dowdall added a point that was neutralised by a Trevor Keena pointed free; Paddy Dowdall pointed again (from a mark) in the final minutes. Shamrocks engaged in a bout of possession football that ended when Conn O’Hanlon spotted a gap and raced through for the final point that secured 2-12 to 0-14 victory. 

Mullingar Shamrocks: Liam English; Donal Lane (0-2)[Davy Coyne], Efe Siode, Ben McNamee; Dylan Franzoni (0-1), Conn O’ Hanlon, Matthew Shaw; Nathan Smith (1-0)[Ciaran Kiernan], Donnacha Maguire; Brian Farrell (0-1), Trevor Keena (0-4), Alan Cashman (0-1); Gavin Pierce (0-1), Ross Corroon (0-2) [Niall Hannigan 1-0], Conor Heffernan (Pearse Corroon).

 

ACL Div. 5: Mullingar Shamrocks 3-23 Multyfarnham 1-10.

A beautiful morning for football with an early start to allow people attend the open training session in TEG Cusack Park. 

And a good game of football to start the day with Mullingar Shamrocks clocking 3-23 for an impressive win. The final scoreline maybe doesn’t reflect the Multy efforts. Shamrocks, playing against the wind, held an interval lead of 1-10 to 0-8. A pair of beautifully stroked 2-pointer frees by Ross Corroon, a string of points from Alex Sheerin (0-5) and a great goal created by Ross and Alex and finished by Gavin Pierce were the first half highlights from the Shamrocks perspective. 

Ian McGovern, a second half substitute, brought an extra threat to the Multyfarnham attack but points from Ronan Byrne and Gavin Pierce extended the lead. Matthew Shaw had an immediate impact as a substitute and scored 1-2 out of the 1-3 that Shamrocks added to the scoreboard over 10 minutes. The goal owed much to the creative efforts of Tommy Daly. The extra point was scored by Alex Sheerin and it’s great to see Alex back. His pace and predatory instincts are valuable qualities.

Another who made a welcome return was Amin Hacini. Ben McNamee, in the manner of the modern fullback line player, added another point to his first half effort. Ben wasn’t finished and landed a superb two-pointer from out near the club house – two for the price of one and the score of the day. (The first corner back to score a two pointer for Shamrocks?). Gavin Pierce repeated the two-pointer effort. Adam Buckley pointed a 45 in his cameo appearance; Darragh Hughes had the ball in the net shortly after entering the field of play – Kevin Kiernan’s fetch and superb delivery created the opportunity for Darragh (Did you know that Darragh’s granddad Billy Moran, one of Westmeath’s all-time greats, was featured in last Sunday’s Leinster Final programme in the Heroes of the Past feature?). Eoin Doran finished with a superb reflex save as Neil Hannigan and Gavin Pierce finished the day with points. 

Mullingar Shamrocks: Eoin Doran; Eamon Breslin (Peter Finch), Mathew Siode, Ben McNamee (0-4); Ronan Byrne, Pearse Corroon, Jack Toal (Matthew Shaw, 1-2); Ciaran Kiernan, Nathan Gavin (Adam Buckley, 0-1); Neil Hannigan (0-2), Padraig Casey (0-1) (Amin Hacini), Ross Corroon (0-4) [Darragh Hughes, 1-0]; Tommy Daly, Alex Sheerin (0-5) [Conor Heffernan], Gavin Pierce (1-4).
