ACFL Div 2 – Davitts 1-8 Aghagallon 2-11

The footballers were looking to follow up their good win over Sarsfields with another good performance against Aghagallon, at Casement Park, on Friday night. However, we had a disasterous start. Within in the first few minutes  an error in defense allowed the Aghagallon forward to race towards goal for a one on one with the keeper and he made no mistake as he blasted to the back of the net. They quickly followed up with a brace of points to take a 1-2 to no 0-0 lead.

We then steadied the ship as we made a quick comeback. Sean O’Neill hit two points, Ryan Rooney got on the score board and when Colly O’Riordan laid a pass off to Liam McGivern he despatched a fierce shot to the Aghagallon net to edge us a point into the lead. All the good work was cancelled out as again we allowed the Aghagallon forwards in for another goal and when they added a further three points we were back to square one. Colly O’Rioradn took the last point of the half to leave us trailing 1-4 to 2-5.

In the second half we battled hard but couldn’t make a dent in the Aghagallon lead. Depsite points from Liam McGivern, Sean O’Neill, Gary Nelson and Stevie Dobbin to get within a goal at one stage, Aghagallon finished strongly slotting over four unanswered points to take the win 2-11 to 1-8.
