The senior footballers made it two wins from four matches when beating McDermotts in this derby encounter at the Falls Park. We played some nice football in the first half and a pleasing aspect of our game was the quality of our finishing. We kicked 8 first half points from various angles with different degrees of difficulty. On the score sheet were  Ciaran O’Riordan 0-3, Anto McGrattan 0-2, Gerard Burns 0-2 and Liam McGivern 0-1 to leave us in front at  half time 0-8 to 0-2.
All the good work of the first half quickly disappeared as we lapsed in concentration and the Macs duly found the net in quick succession to tie the game 0-8 to 2-2 on the restart. We took a while to get going but a point each for Ryan Rooney and Gerard Burns steadied the ship and we settled back into a good rthymn of play. We dominated from there on, finishing strongly with points from Stephen McGivern, Billy McGovern, Gerard Burns and the point of the game from Stevie Dobbin following a great passing move up field to finish winners 0-14 to 2-3.
Best on the day were Ciaran O’Riordan, Paul Dynes, Billy McGovern, Anto McGrattan and Gerard Burns. Click here for photos of the game.
