U14 FOOTBALL LEAGUE
It was a much improved performance by Na Fianna U14 Footballers in the second round of the Spring League against neighbours St Vincents last Sunday morning in Ballinagar but unfortunately it was another defeat as St Vincents claimed the win on a scoreline of 4-12 to 2-05. St Vincents registered the first 3 points before Na Fianna opened their account with the first goal to draw level dispatched to the top corner of the net by Lee Mulpeter. The remainder of the half saw St Vincents add on 2-05 without reply to lead at the break by 2-08 to 1-00. St Vincents increased their lead with the first 2 points of the second half. Then Na Fianna now playing with the strong breeze reduced the deficit first with 4 points followed by their second goal when Conor Langton made a solo run through the middle before firing it to the net. Unfortunately St Vincents then stifled the comeback as they added on another 2-02 to seal the win before Conor Langton completed the scoring with the final point for Na Fianna 5 mins from the end.
