in Kilclonfert on a scoreline of 1-10 to 2-13. N Fianna opened the scoring with a pointed free inside the first min

but for the remainder of the half it was dominated by St Vincents as they racked up 2-07 to Na Fianna’s 1 point

the start of the second half and they worked well as the deficit was gradually reduced, first a pointed free then a

goal from Lee Mulpeter on 5 mins followed by 7 points over the remainder of the half but St Vincents replied with

another 6 points which proved to their winning margin in the end.

U16 FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Na Fianna U16 Footballers got their season up and running with a deserved win over Shamrocks in Rd 2 of the

League last Tuesday week in Mucklagh on a scoreline of 4-06 to 1-11. Na Fianna who had their resources streched

to the limit as they were missing about 10 players put in a very good display.Both sides got off the mark with

2 points apiece before Na Fianna took the lead for the first time on 11 mins with their first goal when David

Buckley’s high ball into the square was caught by Ray Daly who curled his shot round his man into the net. Na Fianna

then added 2 points to Shamrocks 1 before Shamrocks got back in front in the final 10 mins scoring 1-03 without

reply which saw them lead at the break by 1-06 to 1-04. Na Fianna came out all fired up and turned the game

completely in their favour with a blistering first 10 mins of the second half, first when a shot was parried by the

keeper David Buckley was on hand to flick it to net for goal no 2, then after scoring a point Ian Buckley blasted a

shot from the edge of the square to the top corner of the net and while Shamrocks replied with a point Na Fianna

hot them with anothe sucker punch of goal no 4 on 10 mins when Reece Seery’s shot from near halfway was blocked

down by the keeper before being tapped into the net by the inrunning Ray Daly. Shamrocks then got going creating

plenty of chances over the next 15 mins but could only manage to convert 3 more points. Then in the final few mins

Na Fianna steadied the ship as both sides completed their tally with just 1 more point apiece and so Na Fianna held

on to claim the win.

John Ridgeway, Conor Langton, Ian Buckley (1-02), Ray Daly (2-00), Craig Strong, Jamie Ballesty, David Buckley (1-
