U20 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1

Na Fianna U20 Footballers got their U20 Championship campaign underway with defeat to St Manchans last Friday evening in Geashill on a scoreline of 3-09 to 1-10 but Na Fianna will still have an opportunity to secure a place in the Quarter Final by taking on St Vincents in the losers group Rd 2 next weekend. Na Fianna opened the scoring in this game with a point from Conor Bracken inside the first minute followed by 2 more from Aaron Rattigan & Cein Gorman by the 5th minute. St Manchans then got up and running in the 8th minute with their first point followed by another before striking for their first goal on the mid point of the half to take the lead. Na Fianna responded immediately with a point from Aaron Rattigan before St Manchans added 2 more by the 20th minute. The final 10 minutes of the half saw just 1 more score but it was a 2 pointer for Na Fianna scored by Cein Gorman. That left just a single point in it at the break with St Manchans just shading it 1-04 to 0-06 with Na Fianna helped by at least 3 point blank saves from keeper Adam Wallace. The third quarter saw St Manchans extend their lead with 2 points before Na Fianna responded with 2 of their own from Colm Nolan and Aaron Rattigan. In the 16th minute St Manchans won a turnover in midfield launching a quick counter attack to get in and score their second goal then adding 2 points before the sides exchanged a point apiece with just over 5 minutes remaining. In the 27th minute St Manchans clinched it with their third goal but Na Fianna were not giving up and grabbed a goal of their own just at the end of normal time when a run by team captain Eoin Dunne saw give a pass across the square bypassing the in-running Roy Grehan but picking out the fellow in-running Conor Bracken at the right post who dispatched it to the net. Na Fianna completed the scoring with the final point from sub Cian Multaney-Kelly as St Manchans held on for their win.
