THE D TEAM: Austin Stacks 3-7- Tarbert 0-4.
With runaway victories already achieved in their three round robin games of the competition our D Team continued their success with another super win in the Co. Development League Final played in a cool, damp, blustery Friday evening (21st July) in Mountcoal. The first quarter saw just two points on the scoreboard , both for Tarbert. But when we came to terms with the conditions we dominated the second quarter, holding the opposition scoreless while adding a goal and five points ourselves. Our goal came from Damien Hogan with two pointed frees by Calvin Foley and a point each from play by Donnacha Sayers, Noah Townsend and David Courtney.
We continued to dominate the second half, holding the opposition to a further two points, while adding two goals and two points ourselves. Our two goals came from Jamie O’Shea and Donnacha Sayers with our two points coming from Calvin Foley and David Courtney, all four scores from play.
Team: Brian Horgan (Capt), Dean Scanlon, Joe Reidy, Ruairí O’Connell, Luke Casey,Gearóid Sheehan, Evan Foley, Calvin Foley (0-3 – two frees), Darren Bastible, Jamie O’Shea (1-0), Donnacha Sayers (1-1), Noah Townsend (0-1), David Courtney (0-2), Damien Hogan (1-0), Joe Looby.
Subs used: Greg Scanlon (40m), Joe Kinsella (45m), Dara Moriarty (52m), Seán Dukes (54m), Shane Kelliher (54m).
So a great inaugural season for our D Team with massive wins in their four games – 25 points to spare in R1, 26 pts to spare in R2, 14 pts to spare in R3 and a 12 pts win on this occasion.
