Seniors: Doohamlet 1-09 Matheracloone 1-11
A disappointing result on Monday evening last as our Seniors lost by two points to a very physical Magheracloone side.
This was a game that could have went either way but wayward shooting by the home side proved costly as the visitors were more clinical in front of goal. Doohamlet had the better of the exchanges in the first half with Jamie Walshe dominant in midfield and Barry McGinn continuing his good from keeping the scoreboard ticking over. Doohamlet went in at the break 1-06 to 0-06 in front.
Magheracloone hit a purple patch in the third quarter scoring 1-02 to lead for the first time and Doohamlet struggled to find scores After a number of scoring chances were spurned Barry McGinn eventually had the sides level with five minutes remaining, however Magheracloone tagged on two more points to claim victory.
Best for Doohamlet were Damian Ward, Colin Walshe, Martin Hughes, and Ryan Ingram in defence. Jamie Walshe had an outstanding game at midfield scoring two points and Kevin McArdle, Conor Marray and Barry McGinn were most impressive in the forward line. Doohamlet next Senior game Sunday next against Carrick. Check official fixture list for throwin time.
Congrats: All Doohamlet folk should be so proud of our young forward Barry McGinn who was outstanding for Monaghan U21’s last weekend. A heartbreaking defeat should not detract from a magnificent display by the Ulster Champions. Well done Barry and our other team members Barry McBennett and Jamie Walshe, you did your club and country proud.
Get Well: To our veteran full back Martin Hughes who suffered a nasty injury against Magheracloone. Hopefully see Martin back on the pitch soon.
