Minor County Championship Fr. Caseys 3-10, Monaleen 1-09

Fr. Caseys Minor Footballers faced Monaleen last Sunday in Abbeyfeale in round 2 of the county championship. Having defeated Newcastle West in the opening round, Fr. Caseys were looking to keep the winning streak going and edge closer to the knockout stages. Two points inside the opening ten minutes put the Abbeyfeale men into an early lead with Eoin O’Connell and Morgan Scannell on target. For the next ten minutes both defences were winning the battles with Liam Collins and Michael McCarthy in particular working hard to keep a strong Monaleen attack at bay. Monaleen eventually opened their account with a point but Fr. Caseys replied immediately with a point from Adam Fitzgerald and a pointed free from Eoin O’Connell. Nearing the half time break, a well worked Fr. Caseys attack gave Eoin O’Connell sight of goal and he made no mistake, riffling the ball to the top right corner of the net. Monaleen claimed the last point of the half to leave four points between the teams at the break. The half time score was Fr. Caseys 1-04, Monaleen 0-03.

Monaleen needed a bright start to the second half and two early points from the city team reduced the margin to just two points. Both teams traded points either side of the final water break with Conor Mullane and Eliah Riordan on target for Fr. Caseys. With ten minutes to go the game was up for grabs and then Monaleen finally breached the rear-guard to strike for goal. Having lead from the start Fr. Caseys were now trailing and needed a big reply. What came next was a master class of scores with Eliah Riordan bursting down the middle and offloading to Morgan Scannell who rattled the ball to the top of the net. Within a minute Fr. Caseys had their third goal of the evening with Adam Riordan striking low past the keeper to stretch the margin to five points. A converted free from Eliah followed by points from Diarmuid Buckley and Jack Quinlivan heaped more misery on Monaleen as we approached the full time whistle. There was still time from a Scott Harnett point either side of two consolation points from Monaleen to wrap up a flattering seven point win. The final scoreline did Monaleen efforts little justice but credit to Fr. Caseys for coming out on top against very strong opposition. It’s two from two for our minors and next up is a meeting with St. Patricks at home. The full time score was Fr. Caseys 3-10, Monaleen 1-09
