U21 Championship

St. Josephs/St. Mochtas 2-11, Cuchullain Gaels 2-6

The Joes/Mochtas opened their U21 Championship campaign with a win over Cucchullain Gaels on Tuesday night in Cluskey Park.

Credit to both teams for a fine game of football in a first half of heavy rain and a second half downpour. The Joes opened the scoring on 5mins when a long range effort from Jack O’Leary found its way to the net. In what was a cagey first quarter the sides exchanged points with Aaron Gray on target for the Joes/Mochtas, 1-1 to 0-1.

The visitors were on level terms with a goal on 17mins. Points from Aaron Gray and Adam Dullaghan had the home team two ahead on 21mins with the visiting keeper also making two fine saves. The Joes had a second goal when Sean Allen drove low to the left corner of the net with a Cian Sheridan point closed out the scoring to send the Joes/Mochtas in leading by 2-4 to 1-1 at half time.

The opening five minutes of the second half saw the sides add two points each, Aaron Gray and Adam Dullaghan with the Joes scores. A further point from an Adam Dullaghan free had the Joes ahead by 2-7 to 1-3.

The visitors took control scoring 1-2 without reply with another effort crashing off the Joes/Mochtas crossbar. With the margin down to two points a timely intercept from Conor McKenna sent the Joes/Mochtas forward for Rory McLoughlin to knock over a free to leave the Joes/Mochtas ahead 2-8 to 2-5 at the end of the third quarter.

Another superb Aaron Gray point was followed by two excellent long range points from Adam Dullaghan to give the home team a 2-11 to 2-6 as Cuchullain Gaels added the last score of the game.

The home team fielded without Pearse Grimes Murphy, Cormac McKeown, Ben McKeown, Rian Devlin and Michael O’Brien who were called up to the U20 county training squad this week.
