Championship win for minor footballers 2016-07-31 17:41:00

Inniscarra progressed to the next round of the Premier 2A Minor Football Championship with a powerful display on Friday evening at Delanys pitch. St Nicks started the stronger and were two points up before Michael Cronin struck for a goal after a good run by Jamie O'Sullivan. Brilliant defensive play by Danny O'Herlihy and Rob O'Callaghan picked out Ardal O'Connell who passed to Adam O'Connell who scored his first of five first class point. St Nicks were then awarded a penalty kick but Dave Og Coleman saved brilliantly and also saved the follow up shot on goal. Ardal O'Connell scored a point after a brilliant forage upfield by the impressive Gordon Desmond who seemed to pop up everywhere needed. Good work by Colin O'Sullivan and Michael O'Connell resulted in a poor clearance which Sam Doyle pounced on and finished the ball the net. St Nick's attacked at the end of the first half but a good block by Jack Harrington and an interception by Callum Morris ensured Inniscarra led at half time by 2 - 2 to 0 - 5.
Michael O'Connell got the second half off to a good start with a well taken point and Colin O'Sullivan also scored a point after good work by Ciaran Lombard. Michael Cronin also scored a point after good work by Gordon Desmond and with James Buckley rock solid at centre back Inniscarra were well in control. Adam O'Connell scored two more brilliant points from acute angles after very good work by Jamie O'Sullivan and Jack Harrington. Sam Doyle scored a point which was followed by two more by Adam O'Connell. The final score was another point by Colin O'Sullivan from a pass by Liam Doyle.  Final score  INNISCARRA  2  -  11, ST NICKS  0  -  8.
