U19 Football Round 3
Shannon Gaels/Athea 3-16 Askeaton/Ballysteen/Kilcornan 2-12
Both teams went into this game unbeaten and they served up a fantastic contest of the highest standard before a good crowd in Ballyhahill on Thursday evening last. The final score flattered us a little bit as we were hanging on to a one point lead, late in the game when we broke from defence with lightning speed for Eoin O Shea to score a cracking goal. We followed this up with our 3rd goal from A.J. Behan straight from the kick out to give us a 7 point win. There were excellent performances throughout the field which was a credit to the players as they were playing their second game in 3 days. We have now topped our group and we move onto the knockout stages with confidence after 3 victories.
