JFC, Shamrocks 2-14, Affane 0-9.

Shamrocks maintained their good start to the Junior Football championship with a hard fought win over Affane in Lismore last Saturday evening. We started well with points from Bernie Kelleher (2), Cathal Herlihy, Padraig Ahearne,and a goal from Edward Lonergan to give us a solid lead. Affane came back into the game after that and outscored us to leave the half time score 1-7 to 0-6.  Facing the breeze with a slender four point lead, Shamrocks managed to up their game and matched Affane score for score with some great points from Bernie, Billy Hynes, and Kelvyn O’ Farrell, but the decisive score came from Dan O’ Neill who punched the ball to the net to give us a lead we maintained to the end. Bernie Kelleher was our top scorer with nine points from play and from frees, and he kicked some terrific scores from both left and right. Sliabh gCua who are going very well themselves are our next opponents in four weeks time, July 2nd.  Panel; Richie Murphy, Tom Roche, Tommy O’ Donovan, Brian Harnedy, Adam Crawford, Shane Roche, Padraig Roche, Stevie Lucey, Cathal Herlihy, Edward Lonergan, Bernie Kelleher, Billy Hynes, Padraig Ahearne, Dan O’ Neill, Alan Kelly, Kelvyn O’ Farrell, Joe Leahy, Liam Dalton, Martin Delaney, John A.
