The other team were putting over points and kept applying pressure on our back line and eventually scored a goal. The final score was 1-5 to 1-1. Unfortunately we lost Sean O’ Mahony to injury who was like our Richie McCarthy. The second match was a tight affair with back and forth scoring, with Aaron Flynn scoring the first goal in the match. There were brilliant points being scored leftright and centre. But the opposition scored a last second goal putting them ahead by 2 points. The final score was 2-4 to 1-5 with scores coming from Aaron Flynn, Sam Hickey, Mark o’ Brien and Luke Armstrong. Overall it was a great day for the team.
