Club Notes: 30th July 2018

Shamrocks GAA Club Notes ( kindly sponsored by Allen Engineering & Agri Sales Ltd.)

JHC Shamrocks 1-11, Affane 1-8.
Shamrocks qualified for the Western Junior Football final with a 3 point win over a gutsy Affane in Lismore last Saturday. Shamrocks started well and points from Shane Roche, Bernie Kelleher and Chris Murphy gave us a five point lead before Affane got their first point. Bernie continued to impress with 2 more points, and another from Chris left the score 8-4 at half time. Again we started the second half well with a point from Bernie and an excellent goal from Alan Kelly after a great run from Stevie Lucey. Affane finally got going at this point and took the game to the Shamrocks. When Affane goaled near the end it left just a goal between the teams, but earlier points from subs Liam Motherway and Joe Leahy meant we had enough of a cushion to see out the win. This was a solid display from the team with Bernie Kelleher the top scorer, centre back Shane Roche who was very prominent, and veteran Alan Kelly who had a very solid outing. We now have a Western final to look forward to against an Sheana Phobail who won the other semi final.
