Junior : On Saturday evening, in the middle
of a busy weekend for adult footballers in St Mary's, the juniors welcomed Curry
to Kent Park. Missing a few players the juniors were still able to name a
strong starting 15 with reliable options on the bench. In the opening exchanges
Cian McKeon and Michael Ward marshalled the back line well. Up front it was a
welcomed return to the O'Grady brothers Kiki and Conor. An early hand injury to
David Rowland restricted his usual style of football in midfield but he still
battle tirelessly to the end of the
game. At half time Mary's lead by a couple of points but knew they were in for
a battle in the second half from a well organised Curry team. The second half
started with both teams exchanging scores before Curry scored their first goal
after a goal mouth scramble. Curry continued to press hard before a Conor
O'Grady penalty brought Mary's back into contention. A goal keeper error gifted
curry with their second goal of the game. Not panicked by the goal Neil Smyth
began to lead by example and drove Mary's forward. Three unanswered points from
Mary's drew the game level. In an exciting end to the game both teams exchanged
a point each before Michael Duffy blew the full time whistle. Mary's were very
impressive with their never say did attitude on the day. The game finished 2-11
a piece. The team was Sheerin, McKeon, Mahon, Ward, O'Donnell, Murphy, Keaveny,
Smyth, Rowland, Cawley, Blake, O'Grady, Devins, Kiki, McGoldrick, subs
Marshall, Gavin, Hargadon.
The Juniors play in the Abbott Cup on
