Glenbeigh / Glencar B 4-05, Templenoe B 1-14
The Templenoe B team finally got their season underway with an away fixture to Glenbeigh / Glencar on Friday evening. Conditions were ideal for football, with a dry pitch and a very mild breeze.
Templenoe had the better of the exchanges in the first half, but had to overcome the concession of an early goal scored by the Glenbeigh / Glencar full forward. Through a dominant display from the visitor’s midfield, Templenoe picked off a series of points throughout the half, and the half time whistle saw a scoreline of Glenbeigh / Glencar 1-02, Templenoe 0-08. Danny Cahalane scored the pick of the points in the first half.
Templenoe continued to dominate for the opening period of the second half, and a scoring cameo from Martin Reilly, who notched 1-01 in the space of a minute, seemed to set the visitors up for a comfortable victory.
Coming into the last ten minutes Templenoe were still in control, but the concession of three goals to Glenbeigh / Glencar in this period saw the home team pull off a very unlikely draw.
Templenoe Team:
Tommy Granville, Jonathan Egan, Kieran O’Neill, Mike Jones, John Rice, Joey Sheehan, Kieran McCarthy, Shane Cremin, Donal Casey, Martin Reilly, John Moriarity, Padraig O’Sullivan, Patrick Palmer, Danny Cahalane, Noel O’Sullivan.
