Austin Stacks 1-13; An Ghaeltacht 2-10.
Our 5th and final round Co. League game that could have either way, ended in a draw after a great display by both sides. Played in a dry Mounthawk pitch we played against an almost gale-force wind in the first half and trailed by eight points at half time (2-7 to 1-2). Ryan O’Driscoll was our goal-scorer with our two points coming from Cormac Bastible.
Changes made by our back-room staff at half time, together with us playing with the favourable elements saw us wipe out that deficit as we scored eight unanswered points to draw level by the 49thminute (1-10 to 2-7).
In the final minutes of the game both sides scored three points each with the draw leaving us top of the table as we now await details of our forthcoming semi final game.
