Our U15 boys played their County League (Division 9A) match in beautiful senic Glenbeigh. These determined boys made a winning start to their County League campaign in a gripping contest i bPáirc na nGael, Gleann Beithe.
The hosts made a fast start on their home pitch and dominated the early exchanges and that resulted, ní nach ionadh, in a series of fine points and a well-taken goal. The Rock boys faced a challenge! The game could easily have run away from our boys but they hung in and, as the half wore on, they opened their own account with a couple of nice well-taken points. The half-time score…GGC B: 1-7; AdeS B: 0-2.
The second half started with a mini-explosion as the Black‘n’Ambers took control of the game and drove unrelentingly at the home defence with the full intent of clawing back the eight point deficit. In an exhilarating display of attacking football, with a flurry of brilliant points and a couple of cracking goals this objective was achieved within twenty whirlwind minutes. It was a joy to behold! It was now the Stack Club boys who led as the game entered the closing minutes. Hearts fluttered! The hosts, to their credit, rallied and fought back in an effort to rescue the outcome but, however and to a man, The Rock stood firmly and saw out the game and claimed a memorable victory within a stone’s throw of the Behy River. Toradh…AdeS B: 2-8; Glenbeigh/Glencar/Cromane B: 1-9.
