Seniors: Doohamlet 4-12 Carrick 0-07
Doohamlet produced a commanding display on Sunday last with a comprehensive demolition of Carrick in this Senior league fixture at O’Neill Park.
Playing a brand of football that varied from keeping possession to fast delivery to our forwards Carrick defence struggled to cope and Barry McGinn, Conor Marray and Barry McBennett scored 3-10 between them. Jamie Walshe continues to impress at midfield and with his fielding and strong running was a constant threat and was involved in most attacks.
Scoring 4-12 is an impressive tally at Senior level but this victory was based on our defence. The full back line of Jason McElroy, Kevin McArdle and Gavin King were outstanding turning over Carrick possession time and time again. James Casey in the Doohamlet goal was commanding and produced a top class save in the second half. Team captain Colin Walshe dictated the game from centre back and caused endless trouble for the Carrick defence with his strong forays forward, scoring the opening goal and giving steady supply of ball to our forwards.
Another excellent two league points and confidence high as we travel to our neighbours Clontibret for our next game on Wednesday May 4th with a 7.30pm throwin.
