St. Farnan's GAA Club notes
The minor team have qualified for the A league semi final following defeat of Coolera/Strandhill in the quarter final played in Scarden on Tuesday last. The final score was St. Farnan's 1-13, Coolera/Strandhill 0-7. This was a very competitive game with both sides battling hard. We had to field without the injured goalie Sean Hallinan. His brother Cahan took his place in the first half whilst David Hallinan took over in the second half. Both players performed well, keeping a clean sheet and being very effective with placed kick outs. St. Farnan's were first on the scoreboard with a point from a free taken by Patrick O'Connor. Coolera followed with a point from a free. St. Farnan's dominated the scoring with five points without reply and led 0-7 to 0-1 It was Coolera who got the next three points. At half time the score was St. Farnan's 0-9, Coolera 0-5.
That four point gap remained for much of the second half as St. Farnan's defended very well. In the latter stages of the half Eamonn Kilgannon found the next and finished the scoring with a point. Coolera managed only two points in the half, one from a free.
The team was Cahan Hallinan, Farnan Kilgannon, Fergal Ryan, Oisin Connolly, David Hallinan, James Weir, Mark Devaney, Eamonn Kilgannon (1-2),Kevin Mc Gee(0-2), Shane O'Brien, Donall Hanley, Keelan Kilrehill (0-2), Patrick O'Connor (0-7(3f),Conor Gordon.
