U16 B FOOTBALL COMPETITION FINAL
The Title success continues for Na Fianna Football Club as the U16 No 1 Team crowned a glorious week and a half by capturing the U16 B Football Competition Title with a late late winner after extra time against neighbours St Vincents in the Final last Wednesday evening in Croghan on a scoreline of 1-15 to 1-14. This success comes hot on the tail of winning the U14 B and U16 2nd Team Titles. Na Fianna drew first blood opening the scoring with a point from Michael McAndrew with the first attack from the throw in. St Vincents got off the mark in the 3rd minute with a major raising the first green flag when a free near the sideline between the 45 and 21 was dropped into the square where it was punched to the net at the left post by midfielder Robbie Minnock. St Vincents slotted over their first 2 points before Na Fianna struck for their goal in the 12th minute when a short St Vincents kickout was won and worked back in quickly coming to Michael McAndrew in the middle of the square who blasted it to the net. Na Fianna added a point from Senan Farrell before Na Fianna keeper Adam Harte slotted over 2 45’s in the 16th & 21st minutes with a St Vincents pointed free sandwiched in between. That put Na Fianna into the lead but St Vincents restored parity with a point from play in the final minute of the half and that is how it remained at the break with the sides level 1-04 apiece. The first 10 minutes of the second half saw the sides add 3 points apiece with Eoin Gorman, Michael McAndrew and Calum Grehan on target for Na Fianna. The next 10 minutes Na Fianna added 2 points from Cormac Staunton and Callum Grehan either side of 3 points for St Vincents the first of which coming when Na Fianna keeper Adam Harte pulled off a great save to deflect the ball over the bar. That put St Vincents into the lead which is how it would remain until the 28th minute when a pointed free from Na Fianna’s Cillian Hogan restored parity. Then on the stroke of full time St Vincents captain Briain McNamee got what he thought would be the winning point but Na Fianna weren’t giving up and in the 2nd minute of stoppage time Na Fianna captain Cormac Staunton fired over the equalizing point with the final whistle blown immediately afterwards. With the game finishing in a draw extra time was required which proved to be a tale of 2 halves. In the first half of extra time St Vincents added 2 early points followed by a third in injury time to take a 3 point lead into the break of extra time. That is how it would remain until the 6th minute of the second half of extra time when Na Fianna keeper Adam Harte pointed his 3rd 45 of the game followed 2 minutes later by a point from midfielder Eoin Gorman to leave just a single point in it. Then just as the game moved into injury time in the second half of extra time despite his heroics at both ends of the field Na Fianna keeper Adam Harte most certainly save the best till last as he stepped up to a free to score the only 2 pointer of the game which would prove to be the winning score as it brought Na Fianna from a point down to a point in front. Moments later the final whistle was blown to great scenes of delight and celebrations as Na Fianna captain Cormac Staunton was presented with the winning cup from former Na Fianna Chairman and current Referee Paurig Gallagher.
