We played the first round of the new format Football league away to Erins Own in Caherlag on Sunday 27th. @ 4.30. It was a dry day and the pitch was in great condition for this time of year.
We ended up traveling with the bare minimum of 13 players as lads were out with other teams on the same morning with both home and away games under 13.
It was a great credit to the Erins Own team that the fielded a team of 13 players to match our 13.
Having got off to a great start we found ourselves with a good lead 15mins into the first half of 1- 2 to a point, we then were put under pressure by a few good runs by the Erins Own forwards which our backs handled well finishing the half with a scoreline of 2-4 to 3 points.
The second half started well for us with alot of possesion but Erins Own got on top of us after about 10 mins and they had a good passage of play scoring 2 fine goals our backs rallied again and coped well with the ball coming in, it was our third goal that gave us the upper hand and we finished out the game winners with the final score 3-8 to 2-3
