Cootehill 6-07
East Cavan Gaels 2-06
Definitely a case of what might have been on Wednesday in Breffni. An excellent display by our lads who are a mixture of only 4 16 year olds with a sprinkling of 13/14 year old lads. A very nasty head injury to Cillian Traynor coupled with the 2 goals that followed while a man down was ultimately our undoing on the night. Our defence while under some serious pressure delivered a serious performance led by Cian. The midfield area grabbed a good foothold in the game with Jack, Cillian, Seamus and Kevin putting in a serious shift to lay the platform. Unfortunately we are still very young in the forward department and the older physical presence of the Cootehill lads kept most of our attacks at bay but we still created a load of chances.
Cillian’s injury made the second half that bit more difficult but credit to our lads for sticking with Cootehill where they scored 3-04 to our 2-04. We are getting closer each year. Well done to all.
