Allen Gaels GAA Club Notes 21/05/2018

Dunnes Bar Division 2 – We had 5 points to spare over Kiltubrid on Saturday evening played in Kiltubrid on a scoreline of 2-09 to 1-07. Two early points from play from Nicholas Moore settled us down before James Gill pointed a free for the home side on 9 minutes. Caleb Duffy found the net on 14 minutes with a great finish, quickly followed by another point from play from Nicholas and a second goal in the 18^th minute from James Flynn after a good team move left us in control. Emmet Mahon & James Gill pointed frees for Kiltubrid in the 25^th & 28^th minutes before a soft penalty call brought the home side back into contention as Keelan McKeon finished to the bottom corner. Nicholas added a free in injury time to leave the score at the break 2-04 to 1-03. James Flynn from play & another free from Nicholas Moore extended the lead in the opening 5 minutes of the second period. James Gill pointed a free in the 36^th minute before Ciaran Walsh & Nicholas both found the range from play to leave 7 points between the sides entering the final quarter.  Mickey Earley struck Kiltubrid’s only score from play in the 47^th minute and James Flynn replied immediately after great work by Martin Raftery. Emmet Mahon & James Gill added 2 frees in the closing minutes to leave the final score 2-09 to 1-07. Well done to Michael McGovern who performed well in goals on the night. Our scorers were:  Nicholas Moore 0-06; James Flynn 1-02; Caleb Duffy 1-00; Ciaran Walsh 0-01.
