JUNIOR B FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI FINAL REPLAY
After salvaging a draw first time out unfortunately Raheen had no luck in the replay of the Junior B Championship Semi Final and bow out as they lost out to Kinnitty on a scoreline of 3-05 to 1-03 last Friday evening in O’Brien Pk, Tullamore. The first 20 mins of the first half saw both sides get off the mark with just 1 point apiece before Raheen tagged on another point. Then on 23 mins Raheen struck for their goal when Niall Leavy intercepted the ball in midfield and loobed it in high to the square whre it was caught by Shane Hyland on the endline who ran in and rounded the keeper to stick it in the net. The joy of the goal was short lived their as Kinnitty hit back with their 1st goal just 2 mins later followed by a pointed free to draw level. Jack Keogh put over a free from out on the sideline just on the stroke of half time to put Raheen back in front at the break 1-03 to 1-02. The second half was a disaster for Raheen as despite creating plenty of chances their finishing touch deserted them as they were unable to add to their tally and Kinnitty scored 2-03 to seal the win and claim their place in the final.
RAHEEN: Mark Byrne, Eanna Direen, Stephen Byrne, Ciaran Coughlan, Niall Leavy, Shane Carroll, Cathal Maher, Noel Gorman, Donie Boland, Garrett Garry, Damien Arnold (0-01), Johny Byrne, Eoghan Bolton, Jack Keogh(0-02), Shane Hyland (1-00).
