McCourt hits winner in added time

FT Joes 1-7, Blues 1-6

In a very tight and low scoring game the Joes came through in the final minutes with James McCourt hitting the winner on 62mins.

Playing into a strong wind the Joes took an early lead when Donnacha Devlins long range shot found the top of the net. Two points from the Blues left one between the sides on 10mins. The Blues took the lead when a low ground shot found the corner of the Joes net on 20mins. Two further points had the Blues ahead by 1-4 to 1-0 at the break.

Two points from Fionn Reilly in the first five minutes of the second half narrowed the Blues lead. The Joes added a third point on 40mins when Reilly pointed following a fine clearance from defence by Conor Preston. Minutes later Killian McKeown saw his shot flash wide of the left post. An Aodhain Grimes Murphy clearance from defence was taken through from midfield by Killian McKeown, his high ball forward was brilliantly collected by Fionn Reilly to hit the equaliser on 44mins, 1-4 each.

The Blues continued to create scoring chances with the Joes defence holding out until the 49th minute, the Blues also denied by the cross bar before two quick points had the Blues 1-6 to 1-4 ahead with 8mins left.

The Joes pushed forward with Charlie McCrave sending an excellent left footed shot just inside the right post. A fine Joes move saw a second Killian McKeown effort go narrowly wide of goal. The equaliser came for the Joes on 60mins when Fionn Reilly struck a superb free from just inside the arc for his fifth point of the second half.

In added time it was James McCourt who made space to calmly split the posts for the winner. The drama continued when the ever dangerous Killian McKeown was taken down for a penalty, Fionn Reillys shot going narrowly wide of the left post.

The final whistle was blown on the kick out, to the relief of all the Joes supporters. The Joes winning by a single point in an excellent game between two excellent footballing teams, a game that could have gone either way. Well done to both teams for a great game in wet & windy conditions.

Well done guys 🟢⚪️🟡
