The senior team picked up another valuable 3 points on their travels this weekend away to ballyheigue. This was not as easy a win as the score line suggests, in fact we were behind as early as the 2nd minute when a through ball was latched onto by the ballyheigue forward who cooly dispatched it to the net. We responded in the best fashion as within 5 minutes we were level. Maurice o Rahilly won the ball in midfield and fed Jamie McIntyre who after beating 2 players slipped the ball to Jason Fitzgerald who gave the keeper no chance. For the next 20 minutes the game was end to end with ballyheigue creating quite a few chances but the back 4 of Robson Mugabe, Pa Daly, Jonaton Burrows and the outstanding Moss Hogan stood firm and even when this line was breached there was no way past the ever reliable Del o Shea in goal. We took the lead 15 minutes before the break, Ross o connor picked up the loose ball and fed Brian Fitzgerald who switched the play with a superb ball to Ashton Mugabe who took on his man and gave an inch perfect cross for Jason fitzgerald to volley home. This score line was a bit harsh on ballyheigue and it was to get worse 5 minutes before the break when Maurice o Rahilly played a nice 1-2 with Ashton Mugabe and produced an amazing cross which split the 2 centre backs and landed perfectly on the head of Ross o Connor who seemed to hang in the air like a salmon jumping up stream and his bullet header could not be stopped. At half time we were pleased with the score but not with the performance. Our 4th goal came within 5 minutes of the re-start, the ballyheigue keeper played a quick kick out, Ross o  connor and Ashton Mugabe stole the ball, played a 1-2 and put in Maurice o Rahilly who ran tirelessly all day and his reverse pass was finished to the net by Jason fitzgerald who completed his hat-trick. We were totally on top at this stage and kept the ball for long periods with max, Maurice and Frankie all going close. We got a scare late on when ballyheigue got a second 10 minutes from the end and straight from the kick off they won back possession and put their forward through one on one only for Niall Feehen to come from nowhere with a superb last ditch tackle. That was ballyheigues last chance as we comfortably saw out the last few minutes. A very pleasing result and we would like to thank ballyheigue for their hospitality and sportsmanship as the game was played in the best spirit.
