U17 (MINOR) FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP RD 5

Na Fianna U17 (Minor) Footballers are through to the A Championship Quarter Final where they will face Tullamore as they secured their place with a good win against Edenderry in the 5th and final Rd of the group stage last Saturday morning in Edenderry on a scoreline of 1-15 to 0-07. Na Fianna got up and running with the opening 4 points inside the first 10 minutes all from placed balls shared between cousins Ryan Kinahan (3) and Aaron Rattigan (1) with Edenderry opening their account with a single point also from a placed ball. Both sides added 2 points apiece over the next 10 minutes before Na Fianna stretched further ahead in the final 10 minutes of the half adding 4 points to Edenderry’s 1 with the Na Fianna scores from Ryan Kinahan (2) and Colm Nolan (2). In stoppage time Edenderry were reduced to 14 when their No 15 was dismissed after picking up a second yellow card. This left Na Fianna leading by double scores at half time 0-10 to 0-05. Na Fianna added a further 3 points without reply by the midpoint of the second half from Aaron Rattigan, Kevin Healy and Sean Dunne. Then on 19 minutes Na Fianna struck the killer blow as a great run through the middle by Rory Grehan picked out Eimhin Gorman in the square who fired the ball into the net for the only goal. With the result now in the bag Na Fianna saw it out over the remaining just over 10 minutes as both sides completed their tally with the final 2 points apiece.
