Senior County Championship - 2nd Round

Dr Crokes 2-17 Kerins O'Rahillys 3-18

Played in Fitzgerald Stadium

In a game in which the teams were evenly matched in the first ten minutes and were level at three points each we got well on top in the remaining twenty minutes of the half. We scored two goals and seven points in this period against our opponents 0-3. This gave us a lead of 2-10 to 0-6 at half time.

Kerins O'Rahillys had the first two points of the second half but we had our ten point lead back by the 40th minute. Our opponents outscored us four points to three in the next ten minutes to go. This still left us nine points clear with ten minutes to go. They had the strong breeze behind them and there was always the danger that if they scored a goal it could be game on. This they did and in the remainder of normal time and the seven minutes of injury time they outscored us 3-6 to 0-2 for a four point win. They had finished much the stronger and would have to be praised for their great comeback.

We are still in the competition and I know we will pick ourselves up and make a great effort to win our Round 3 game next weekend and qualify for the last eight.
