DOHENY GAA NOTES - (Number of times read: 831)
PRO | Tuesday 2 May 2017
The 17 year wait is over!
It might have taken 17 years but by hell it was well worth
the wait. The sense of joy & relief was palpable when the final
whistle blew in Aughaville last Sunday evening & the Liam Farr Cup was
finally coming back to its rightful home. The Doheny U21 footballers were
fully deserved of their 2-08 to 0-09 win over a gutsy Castlehaven team.
The Doheny men’s 1st half display will live long in the memory bank when they
powered to a 2-05 to 0-01 lead by half time. In actual fact Dohenys could
have been a lot further ahead such was their dominance.
Credit to the Castlehaven they didn’t throw in the towel
& they had a purple patch of their own in the second half kicking 7
unanswered points but the Dohenys lead was insurmountable & the men in
green finished strongly to run out deserved victors.
There’s a great balance to this Doheny U21 team from 1-15
& including all the subs. It’s right up there amongst the best U21
teams the Club has ever produced. They work extremely hard for one
another, are all naturally gifted footballers & have the right mental
attitude. The team has won this west cork championship the hard way in
defeating last year’s champions Ilen Rovers, a strong Clonakilty team in the
semi-final & a tenacious Castlehaven team in the final. They scored a
total of 6-26 in the 3no. championship games & didn’t concede a single
goal. A heartiest congratulations to all the players & to the team
management of Mark Farr, Jerry O’Mahony, Martin Collins & Tony O’Sullivan.
