Dr Crokes 6-28, Templenoe 2-08
The penultimate round of Templenoe’s County League campaign proved to be a forgettable experience, as they lost heavily to a very slick and well drilled Dr Crokes side. Templenoe were still short numbers due to injury and county commitments, but once the match settled down, found the power and pace of Dr Crokes too much to handle.
Adrian Spillane opened the scoring with a point, and despite taking five minutes to get off the mark, Dr Crokes kicked the next eight points in a row. This was done through dominance around the midfield sector and having the ability to kick some great passes into their inside forwards. Kieran O’Leary scored the first goal for the home side on the seventeenth minute, and this trend continued up to the half time whistle with the score, Dr Crokes 2-15, Templenoe 1-04. Adrian Spillane getting the Templenoe goal on the 30th minute.
There was no change in the flow of the match in the second half with the home side continuing to push hard for scores. They added another four goals from Gavin O’Shea (2), Kieran O’Leary and Johnny Buckley. The pick of Templenoe’s scores was a point by John Spillane on the run and a penalty by Killian Spillane. The final score ended up, Dr Crokes 6-28, Templenoe 2-08
