NA FIANNA GAA FOOTBALL CLUB
G.A.A CLUB NOTES:-  21st April 2025


U16 FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 2
The wait for that first win of the year goes on for Na Fianna U16 Footballers as like their previous game they were again left to settle for a draw this time against neighbours St Vincents in Rd 3 of the League last Wednesday evening on a scoreline of 1-10 apiece played in Kilclonfert after a late switch from Geashill due to an unplayable pitch in Geashill. Na Fianna were quickest out of the blocks as they opened the scoring with the first 2 points inside the opening 2 minutes with the second coming from a free for an infringement of the 4 V 3 rule.  This is how it remained for the next 10 minutes until 3 quickfire points in quick succession for Na Fianna by the midpoint of the half scored by Kajus Ramanuskas (2) & Mark Dunne increased their lead to 5 points. St Vincents had to wait until the 20th minute to get their first score with a point from play. Then in the 23rd minute Na Fianna struck for their goal when a free taken by Cillian Hogan just inside the halfway line was caught in the square by his teammate whose shot was blocked by the keeper but Fionan Connolly was the quickest to react to dispatch his shot to the net. St Vincents responded immediately by getting in to score a goal of their own. Na Fianna slotted over another pointed free in the final minute to maintain their 5 point lead at the break 1-06 to 1-01. Na Fianna got the first point of the second half from Mark Dunne before St Vincents responded with 4 points to Na Fianna’s 1 over the next 5 minutes with 2 of those St Vincents points coming form 2 frees given well inside St Vincents own half being brought all the way up to the 13m line for dissent. In the 9th minute Na Fianna were awarded a free outside the arc which Cillian Hogan excellantly sent all the way over the bar for the only 2 pointer of the game which restored Na Fianna’s 5 point advantage. Incredibly this would prove to be Na Fianna’s final score of the game but they held on to that lead until the final 10 minutes when St Vincents reigned them in kicking 5 points without reply to draw level in stoppage time for the only time in the game but it proved to be enough for them to get the draw.
