Asdee 2-6 Duagh 1-8

Asdee were favourites to get over the line in this one but they had to pull out all the stops before they had to endure some anxious moments coming up to the final whistle with Duagh attacking in droves and Asdee holding on by a single point. Certainly there was very little separating these two well matched and it took 2 second half goals in a 1 minute period to put daylight between the sides and which proved to be crucial to the end result.

Played in excellent conditions at Duagh on Saturday evening last it was the visitors who got off to the perfect start with Darragh Keane splitting the posts inside the opening minute; however 5mts later Dara Joy levelled up matters for the home side and John Joy rose highest in the goalmouth to fist over a Ger McCarthy delivery after 5 minutes. Now as the game moved forward it was Duagh who seemed to have the better of proceedings with Nigel O Connor and Thomas Scanlon driving their team from the back.

Asdee were to kick a number of wides but the same could be said of the home side. Kieran Lucy lofted over in the 13th minute and Duagh were really enjoying plenty possession. Two minutes later wing back Thomas Scanlon went into attack and drove over a superb point. Darragh Keane and Nigel O Connor exchanged points by the 18th minute before Asdee hit a purple patch and points from

Eoin Kennedy and Mike Breen; both frees cut the deficit with 5mts remaining in the opening half but Nigel had the final say in the scoring department when he drove over a fine point to leave the half time score; Duagh 0-6 Asdee 0-4. On resumption it was the visitors who like in the opening half got the first score of the half within a minute coming from Cyril Dineen. It was now Asdee who were dictating play and after 8mts the sides were all square with a free converted by Mike Breen. It was still all to play for as Dara Joy put Duagh ahead again after 10mts.

It was ding dong at this stage with play moving from end to end but in fairness to the Duagh rearguard who had been rock solid up to this stage they took their eye off the ball and in the 20th minute and the visitors struck for 2 goals inside a minute; Cyril Dineen and Eoin Tydings was to put daylight between the sides.

Now it looked as if Asdee would pull away; but Duagh had other ideas and threw caution to the wind; Ger McCarthy pointed in the 25th minute and deep into injury time Nigel O Connor struck for a goal from the 13 meter line to leave just that single point between the sides. Asdee 2-6 Duagh 0-8.

MINOR COUNTY LEAGUE FINAL Asdee/Bally 1-11 Beale 7-11. Division 5 of the County League drew to a close in a one sided affair in Ballyduff on Friday evening last where parish neighbours Asdee/Bally played Beale in perfect conditions.

It was the combination side that started the brighter having registered 2 quick points without reply before the 4th minute. However goals in the 5th 7th, 10th and 13th minutes and certainly no fault of the goalkeeper began the very steep uphill battle that the combination side quickly found themselves in. By the time the half time whistle sounded they had managed to claw the margin back to 6pts which was greately helped by a well taken penalty by Owen O Connor in the 15th minute leaving the half time score; Beale 4-4 Asdee/Bally 1-7.

Upon resumption Asdee/Bally burst into the game with determination and vigor and by the 4th minute haf found themselves only trailing by 3pts and were denied goals by the upright and some excellent goalkeeping by Michael Eoin O Sullivan. The Seasiders soon got to grips with the game again and substitute Eric Daly rattled the back of the net after 5mts of the second half to put 6pts between the sides again.

Beale continued this form and 2 further goals in the 10th and 15th minutes put the game well out of reach of their opponents. In fairness to the combination side they battled hard until the end but the task proved too much and Beale who ran out comfortable victors at the final whistle. After the game; County Board Assistant Treasurer, Paudie Dineen was on hand to present Beale captain Darragh Buckley with the Division 5 Shield who also received the Man of the match trophy.
