The eagerly awaited Under 13 Northern Board Final was contested today by Sean Mac Cumhaills and An Tearman with the Finn Valley side taking the honours.
There was very little between these teams when they met in the league last month. A large crowd had gathered for throw in in the Center of Excellence in Convoy. Referee for the match was PJ Scanlon.
Mac Cumhaills started the better of the teams and Luke Gavigan opened the scoring after a min. Oisin Gallen and Jamie Keegan added to this and after 15 mins Mac Cumhaills were 6 points up. Termon fought back and were unfortunate not to get on the score sheet. Further points for Oisin Gallen (2f), Joel Bradley (1f) and Jaime Keegan (1f) gave Mac Cumhaills a commanding half time lead of 0-12 to 0-00.
This Termon team refused to lie down and came out all guns blazing for the start of the second half. They scored two quick goals, one from Ciaran Macan Duibh, and a point from Chonair Macan Duibh to bring them back into the game big style. It took another few minutes for Mac Cumhaills to settle down. A brilliantly taken goal by Conor Doherty gave Mac Cumhaills some breathing space. Further points for Joel Bradley Walsh, Anthony Gallagher, Chad Mc Sorley and Conor Doherty gave Mac Cumhaills the victory they deserved. final score was 1-19 to 2-03.
Well done to both teams on an entertaining match.
Best of luck to both teams in the All County Semi Finals.
