Quigley top scores in Joes comeback
Division 1 League
St. Josephs 1-16, Dundalk Gaels 1-13.
The Joes started the second phase of the League with a very hard earned win over the Gaels in the Ramparts on Friday evening. Playing with a fairly stiff wind at their backs, it was the Gaels led by Dylan McKeown who had the better of the early scoring. Points from Luke Murray and an excellent point from the left sideline by Dylan McKeown had the Gaels two up within the first 3mins, a Conall McCaul free got the Joes on the scoreboard. A Thomas O’Connell point on 5mins was followed by a number of missed chances by both sides. On 12mins Ben Collier added a second point for the Joes following good work by Conall Smyth. The Gaels added three in as many minutes as Dylan McKeown scored two from play and Thomas O’Connell landed a 45 to put the Gaels 0-6 to 0-2 ahead on 17mins.
A strong run by Oisin McGuinnes down the right wing was driven over by McGuinness under heavy pressure. Thomas O’Connell and Conall McCaul exchanged pointed frees before Padraic Tinnelly came through the centre to point for the Gaels on 27mins. With the game swinging from end to end Conall McCaul landed a fine point from a free close to the two point arc. A great block by Gabriel Bell saw the Joes sweep forward with Jack Mulligan unlucky to see his palmed effort go wide of the left post, to leave the Gaels ahead 0-8 to 0-5 at half time.
With the wind now at their backs the Joes saw two long range efforts drop short before Craig Doherty landed an excellent two pointer. A fine score off his left by Tony McDonnell had the Gaels ahead by three after 36mins. Excellent fielding by Michael O’Brien setup Conall McCaul for a Joes point. The first goal of the game came on 41mins when a high ball towards the Joes goal broke to Thomas O’Connell and he crashed the ball to the Joes net. The Gaels took control on the scoreboard as they added two quick points, from half backs Luke Murray and Shaun Duffy to give the Gaels a 1-11 to 0-8 lead on 43mins.
The Joes lifted their game, Craig Doherty and Michael O’Brien on target, with the Gaels keeper Aaron Culligan making a fine save to deny the Joes an opening goal. Alan Quigley who had come on as an early second half substitute landed the 45, with the Joes denied by an upright in the next attack. A point from Dylan McKeown on 49mins had the Gaels ahead by 1-12 to 0-11.
The Joes were now gaining greater possession around midfield, it was Alan Quigley who converted a two pointer free on 52mins to leave just two between the sides. With four minutes of normal time remaining the Joes lost Oisin McGuinness to a head injury with the home side reduced to 14 for the final minutes.
On 62mins Conall McCaul collected the ball in midfield for the Joes, passing inside to Craig Doherty, combining with Ben Collier whose pass across goals was palmed to the net by Alan Quigley to give the Joes the lead for the first time. The Gaels responded in the next attack as Thomas O’Connell drew the sides level, the Joes regaining the lead on 64mins as Alan Quigley guided his shot inside the right upright. In what had been a fractious final ten minutes it was Alan Quigley who stole the show as he landed a two pointer free from the right wing on 66mins to bring his tally to 1-6 and give the Joes a three point win by 1-16 to 1-13.
St, Josephs: Aaron Gray, Cian Sheridan, Aidan Kieran, Rian Devlin, Ben McKeown, Cormac McKeown, Gabriel Bell, David Kieran, Killian Staunton, Oisin McGuinness (0-1), Ben Collier (0-1), Craig Doherty (0-3), Jack Mulligan, Conall Smyth, Conall McCaul (0-4,3f), Michael O’Brien (0-1), Alan Quigley (1-6,5f), Ciaran Johnston, Conor Neary, Cormac Marmion.
