MINOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP RD 4
Na Fianna Minor Footballers secured their place in the A Championship Quarter Final with a win against neighbours St Broughans in the last round of the group stage of the Championship last Sunday morning in Geashill with Na Fianna coming out on top on a scoreline of 2-11 to 0-12 and in doing so gained some revenge for their defeat to the same opposition by a last minute goal in extra time of the B Semi Final last year. The sides opened the scoring with a point apiece inside the first 5 minutes with Na Fianna adding another before striking for their first goal in the 9th minute when Colm Nolan’s initial shot was parried by the keeper with Killian Dunne taking the rebound before passing it back to Colm Nolan in the middle of the square to blast it to the net. The remainder of the half saw St Broughans add 5 points to Na Fianna’s 4 from Cian Multaney Kelly (3) and Adam Comerford so at the break it was the goal that separated them as Na Fianna led by 1-06 to 0-06. The first 10 minutes of the second half saw St Broughans add 3 points to Na Fianna’s 2 both again from Cian Multaney-Kelly before St Broughans were reduced to 14 in the 12th minute with a straight red card for their centre back for a strike to the head of Na Fianna sub Mark Dunne. St Broughans did get the next 2 points over the next 10 minutes to reduce the gap to the bare minimum. In the 23rd minute Na Fianna were awarded a penalty for a trip on Cian Multaney-Kelly which Oissine Troy dispatched to the net for Na Fianna’s second goal. Na Fianna followed this up with 2 points both from Stevie Byrne before the sides completed the scoring with a point apiece in stoppage time with Colm Nolan the player on target for Na Fianna. Na Fianna now face Ferbane / Belmont in the Quarter Final (Fixture details TBC).
