Weekly Notes 23rd of September

Senior County Championship Round 1

Played in Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday 22nd of September

Dr Crokes 3-26 Rathmore 2-12

What is usually a very difficult game was a little easier on this occasion. One must point out that Rathmore were missing a number of their key players. Our opponents did, however, fight to the end even though their task at half time, down 14 points, was a bridge too far.

We had the breeze behind us in the first half and made every post a winning one. Scores were slow to come in the beginning as we led by just three points after 12 minutes. Scores began to flow for the remainder of this thirty minutes. We score 1-11 to go in at half time 1-16 to 0-5 ahead.

Aided by the elements Rathmore came more into the game and sent over 1-2 to our 0-1 in the first five minutes of the second half. In the next few minutes we had three points without reply. This settled us back into the game and even though our opponents scored more freely than they did in the first half we always seemed to match both their goals and points in the last fifteen minutes. Both sides ran their benches and our management must have been happy with our all-round display. Rathmore despite their disappointment is far from being out of the competition if they can quickly get back some of their missing quality players.
