Senior Football
Our Burns Cars-sponsored senior team got their first win in
the Div 2 League when they travelled out West to Easkey on Sat and overcame the
home team by 2-12 to 3-5. Our boys showed much greater commitment and
determination on an evening where the strong breeze made playing difficult.
Having played with the benefit of the breeze, St Johns led by 1-8 to 0-3 at
half time with Cathal Jordan getting the goal when he punched home a David
Rooney cross. In the second half our boys retained possession well into the
breeze and when Conor Mc Govern saved an 8th min penalty and Fiachra
Grennan shot home a goal shortly afterwards things looked good for us, but
Easkey fought back scoring three goals including another penalty to leave just
4 points between the sides at the final whistle. St Johns; C McGovern; A
Clerkin, D Burke, E Roche; N Hayes(0-1),P McNamara, R Fahy; J Murphy, O Cox; S
Stenson, D Rooney(0-7,2F), C Greene; C Jordan(1-1), F Grennan(1-1), C Harrison.
Subs used D Smith(0-1) for Greene(inj); P Murphy for Cox(inj); J Grehan(0-1)
for Smith B.C. The next league fixture takes place in Stenson Park on Sat at
6.30 when St Michaels are visitors.
