Gers U15 Boys defeated in Championship Final
A fine Naomh Mairtin side were too good on the day for our U15 boys who fought to the end but lost out by a margin of ten points.
The Martins were quick out of the blocks and had a goal scored within a few minutes. They added two points before Joe Lynch replied with a point. Martins were dominating and scored futher points but valiant efforts by James Scanlan in defence and Ronan Duggan at midfield, amongst others, kept the Gers in touch. One of the match highlights was a diving goal line save from the tireless wing forward Ryan Mulholland. Hugo Nolan and Roan Norton Quigley added two fine points and Joe Lynch scored two further frees to leave the half time score Martins 1.08 Gers 0.05
The Gers started the second half well. Conor Cunniffe was having a fine game in defence but Gers were finding it hard to get scores on the board despite Tym Varshytskyi making some great runs in attack. Martins scored another goal but straight away Joe Lynch replied with a lovely finish to get the gap back to 6 points with 15 mins to go. Unfortunately Martins added 1-2 to widen out the gap. The Gers kept battling as Joe Lynch added another 1-1 and Ronan Duggan added a fine long range free. Further Martins points followed to leave the final score;
Martins 3-14 Gers 2-07
Congratulations to Naomh Mairtin who are worthy winners.
Everyone feels the disappointment after Sunday but the boys should be proud of themselves for the effort they put in on the day and the experience of the final will help them in the future.
Thanks to the all the club members who supported the team on Sunday and to the parents for their commitment and support all year.
There will be many more good days ahead for this fine group of boys.
