Allen Gaels GAA Club Notes 15/10/2018

Division 2 Playoff – Congratulations to the team & management on winning the league playoff against Dromahair in Drumkeerin last Saturday on a scoreline of 3-14 to 2-06. The victory confirms a quick return to Division 1 and a chance of some silverware when we will meet Annaduff in the Division 2 Final once they have completed the Intermediate Championship. The game was played in difficult conditions but we started well and with the sides tied at 0-02 points apiece a Shane Walsh goal in the 7th minute settled the nerves. Dromahair struck for a gaol themselves in the 19th minute to reduce the arrears but Alan Wynne slotted home our second goal in the 20thminute to regain the advantage. Mark Gunning was sent off after a second yellow on 26 minutes and with a half time score of 2-06 to 1-04 a difficult second period looked on the cards. However the deficit in numbers was never a factor and we played some great stuff after the break and once Thomas Mulvey struck a third goal on 40 minutes the game was under control. Dromahair fought on and scored a goal with the final kick of the game. Our scorers were: Martin Beirne 0-03; Shane Walsh 1-00; Alan Wynne 1-00; Thomas Mulvey 1-00; James Flynn 0-02; Caleb Duffy 0-02; Nicholas Moore 0-02; Diarmaid McKiernan 0-02; Shane Beirne 0-02; Ciaran Walsh 0-01.
