Junior Championship

We made the short journey to Ballynacargy on Sunday to take on Multyfarnham in Round 5 of the Junior Championship. Multy were quick off the mark and had the first 3 three points on the board, (two from frees and one from play) before Bun put a fine move together for Brian Maguire to score a fine point on the run.

After another Multy point from a free, Aidan Finnan replied with a free from distance for Bun before Multy broke up the field at pace after turning Bun over to score a point from play. Peter Tormey was next on the scoreboard from play after a clever short free from Barry O Mara found Tormey in space. Noel Yourell was replaced through injury by Eoghan Murray who went on to have a great game. The sides retreated at half time with Multy leading 0:06 to 0:03.

Multy were first off the mark in the second half with another point from a free before a great team move from Bun saw John Kiernan find Maguire in space who hit a rasping shot which grazed the crossbar for a point. Luke Kiernan drove forward from cornerback and was unlucky to see his shot saved. Peter Tormey kicked the resulting free after Kiernan was fouled in the run up to his goal attempt. Shane McGovern then scored a brilliant point from distance to leave one point between the teams with Bun pressing hard.

The key score of the game followed McGovern’s point when Multy put together a passage of play that led to their corner forward finding the bottom corner of Bun’s net to extend the lead to four. They got the next two points to move six clear but to Bun’s credit they fought back. Points from O Mara, Aidan Finnan and O Mara again saw us reduce the lead to three with 6 minutes left. However, Multy pushed on to score the last two points of the game to record a five point win.

Bun now prepare for a quarter final in two weeks time where it looks like Garrycastle will be our opponents. 

Team: Fintan Connaughton, Gavin Lyons, John Kiernan, Luke Kiernan, Matthew Hope, Aidan Finnan, Noel Yourell, Andy Whitney, Shane McGovern, Peter Tormey, Conor Lyons, Mark Donnelly, Ken Conroy, Brian Maguire & Barry O Mara. Subs: Eoghan Murray for Noel Yourell, Caolan Fulham for Brian Maguire, Eoghan McGowan, for Mattew Hope, Cian Tighe for Mark Donnelly, Liam Mitchell for Kenny Conroy, Tommy Murphy, Joe Tormey, Alan Maguire, Chris Cole, Conor Newman, Darragh Lyons, Kevin Mitchell and Ronan Scally.

Many thanks to all in Ballynacargy for having the pitch and facilities in perfect condition for this match.
