DIVISION 5 FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 2

It’s 2 wins out 2 so far in 2025 for Raheen Junior Footballers as they led from start to finish against Ballycumber in Ballycumber in Rd 2 of the Division 5 League last Saturday evening on a scoreline of 0-20 to 1-07. Cein Gorman opened the scoring for Raheen with a pointed free in the second minute before Ballycumber were given a chance to get off the mark and take the lead in the 5th minute when they were awarded a penalty but the attempt went wide. Raheen responded with 3 points in a row from Danny & Cein Gorman (2) before Ballycumber did get on the scoreboard in the 17th minute with a point followed immediately by another. The remainder of the half saw Raheen add 5 points including 1 2 pointer from Cein Gorman to just a single point for Ballycumber in stoppage time. This gave Raheen a 6 point lead at the break 0-09 to 0-03. Raheen continued on where they left off in the first half by adding a further 7 points to Ballycumber’s 2 in the third quarter with the Raheen scores well spread out between Rory Grehan, Ryan Mulpeter (2), Paddy Rigney (2), Stephen Pierce and Danny Gorman. With Raheen’s lead now in double figures the final 10 minutes saw Ballycumber have their only period of dominance of the game scoring 1-02 to Raheen’s 4 points from Cein Gorman, Danny Gorman, Aidan Pierce and Stephen Pierce. The result sees Raheen sit joint top of the table alongside neighbours Ballinagar with the sides due to meet in Rd 3 in 2 weeks time.
