Cordal/Scart v Gneeveguilla. East Kerry Minor League
Cordal/Scart Minors were back on the football scene on Thursday evening after a good few weeks break to take part in this year’s East Kerry Minor League, which they won last year.
The first round was against Gneeveguilla who were hardy opponents and Cordal/Scart were left two points behind at the final whistle. Cordal/Scart scored 1-12 to Gneeveguilla’s 1-14.
Started Strong
The first half started strong for Gneeveguilla their number thirteen, Evan Cronin kicked over two consecutive points in the opening minutes.
Cordal/Scart’s first quarter was also strong. They started with a point scored in the fourth minute, kicked over by Joseph Sheehy. Sean Walsh scored Cordal/Scart’s additional three points of the quarter.
The second quarter proved weaker for Cordal/Scart with only two points scored and they had to replace a player after a black card.
Gneeveguilla clocked up four points, building their lead – which should have been stronger if not for so many wides.
Not Over Yet
Sean Walsh scored the last point of the first half. Cordal/Scart were a goal down at 0-6 to Gneeveguilla’s 0-9 but the game was certainly not over yet.
The second half kicked off with a Cordal/Scart point. Gneeveguilla attacked for the rest of the third quarter and scored two points.
They also kicked in a goal, extending their lead thanks to Jack Brosnan.
The final fifteen minutes were Cordal/Scart’s best display of football. Sean Walsh began the break down of Gneeveguilla’s lead with two points. Kieran Enright had the Gneeveguilla boys sweating after knocking over a point and scoring a late goal.
One Last Push
With a goal needed to steal the win Cordal/Scart made one last push but their efforts were in vain with time up, the ref blew the whistle.
The final scores left Cordal/Scart two points shy of equalizing at 1-12 to Gneeveguilla’s 1-14.
Hard luck lads after a close finish.
The Cordal/Scart boys were put through their paces for their first East Kerry Minor League game. The game saw some good displays of football by Jack Flynn who has been absent from some of the season’s earlier games.
