ACFL Division 3 vs St. Lomans Mullingar

We travelled to Lakepoint Park to take on St. Lomans on Thursday evening last. Played in ideal conditions on a fantastic surface, the home side made a strong start and led by 0:09 to 0:02 after twenty minutes. Barry O Mara was the sole Bun scorer with two points from frees. Bun finished the half strongly though, following a great goal by Ken Conroy. He got the ball on the turn and took his man on before slotting under the keeper's body to give Bun hope going into half time.

The second half saw Bun put in a tremendous effort. The game was fast paced and both teams added to a fine contest. John Kiernan got Bun off the mark in the second moiety. Simon Moorehead made a strong run up the field to add Bun’s second score of the half with a fine score from distance.

St. Loman’s then looked like they were through for a goal but Alan Maguire made a superb save to deny them. Their goal did arrive however soon after. This turned out to be the crucial score of the half. Noel Yourell responded with a good point from play before Garvan Dolan tapped over a free.

Simon Moorehead and Ken Conroy both kicked points either side of a St, Loman’s point. Conroy again showed great strength winning the ball in front before taking on his man to split the posts.

Bun finished this game strongly and should take great heart from their second half performance. With nine weeks to the Championship and the panel getting stronger and fitter, they are heading in the right direction.

Team: Alan Maguire, Conor Newman, Joe Tormey, Luke Kiernan, Matthew Hope, Simon Moorehead, Dave Newman, John Kiernan, Noel Yourell, Gavin Lyons, Garvan Dolan, Ronan Scally, Ken Conroy, Brian Maguire, Barry O Mara. Subs: Ger Brennan for Joe Tormey, Enda Newman for Gavin Lyons, Liam Mitchell for Conor Newman, Conor Lyons for Brian Maguire, Eoghan Murray for Dave Newman, Darragh Lyons, Tommy Murphy & Cian Tighe.
