O'LOUGHLIN GAELS INTO COUNTY FINAL

Two first half goals did the damage to put O’Loughlin Gaels into this years’ County Final. At a time in the game when the Rower Inistioge had manufactured a 2 point lead (0-6 to 0-4) and were benefitting from a strong wind, Martin Comerford pounced on a defensive error to give the ‘Gaels the lead on 21 minutes. Three minutes later and another defensive fumble was punished by Alan Geoghegan for the St. Johns side’s second goal putting the Gaels five points clear approaching the break. It was a toughly contested game with scores hard to come by insuring these two scores turned out to be crucial to the final result.

The lads managed to maintain the three point advantage they held going onto the second half right to the final whistle but not before a few heart stopping moments as the game closed when The Rower were forced to press for an equalising goal. A stoic O’Loughlin Gaels defence was not letting that happen however and the Gaels saw off the challenge to book themselves a place in the final in two weeks time.

The second Semi-final today had last year’s champions Clara dethroned by the previous year’s Champions Ballyhale Shamrocks, who are going to be formidable opponents in the final. It’s knuckle down time for the next two weeks..all hands on deck as the Club and St. John’s Parish prepare for a County Final. Be there on October 30th and support your club.
