ACFL Division 2

Legan 1-1 Fr. Manning Gaels 3-17

Our senior team continued their winning ways in the league with a comprehensive 3-17 to 1-1 victory over a battling Legan Sarsfields side. This was the last game to be played at Flood Park before it is refurbished. The Gaels dominated from the first whistle to the last with the Cassidy brothers Martin and David particularly to the fore. The first twenty minutes were not as comfortable as the Gaels would have liked, with many missed chances and handling errors giving reason for concern. These concerns were alleviated when the powerful Aaron Quinn raided forward from wing back to slot in an excellent goal after receiving a tremendous pass from Mark Duffy. This move ended the game as a contest and the half time score was 1-10 to 0-1. The Gaels added two further goals in the second half from Martin Cassidy and Pauric Gill and ran out comfortable 22 point winners despite conceding a sloppy goal midway through the second half

Team & Scorers: Paddy Collum, JP Farley, Fergal Reilly, Derek McCormack, Mark Duffy (0-1), Dylan Quinn, Aaron Quinn (1-0), David Collum, Pauric Gill (1-2), Emmet Noonan, Darren Farley (0-1) , Eoin Keane (0-1), Martin Cassidy (1-5 (3f)), David Cassidy (0-3), Petie Collum (0-3 (1f))

Seniors: Our seniors scored an easy 2-11 to 0-2 win over Kenagh in the division 2 league on Friday evening. The result was never in doubt after Emmet Noonan powered through and found the net mid way through the first half. The visitors had to wait until ten minutes from the end for their first score such was the dominance of the Gaels throughout the park. However, there is still plenty to improve on given the number of wides kicked and shots dropped short. The next game is away to Legan Sarsfields next Friday at 7:30.

Reserve League: The reserve team had a good win over Mostrim on Friday evening week last on a scoreline of 0-9 to 0-6.

FRMG Team: Aiden Gray, Derek McCormack, Cian Brady, Stephan  Cosgrove, J.P. Farley,  Leon McKeon, Darren Reilly, David Collum, Sean Whelan, Nigel Kiernan, James Breslin, Ciaran Cooney, Petie Collum 0-8 6f, Anthony Kane 0-1, Danny McGee,  Paul Donnelly and Mike Mulleady. The club wishes a speedy recovery to the Mostrim player who suffered a serious injury during  the game.

It was a very disappointing day for the team who need to regroup again for the next round away to Colmcille on Saturday evening next. The final score was Fr. Manning Gaels 1-4 Emmet Óg, Killoe 9-19.
