Aughlisnafin
Club Notes 15th June 2008
After a poor performance
against St Johns the previous week
Aughlisnafin put in a vastly improved
display against Bright at Annsborough
on Friday night, although it took
a big second half effort.
The Fin give debuts to three new players,
Aidan Small in goals, Chris Doran
at right half forward and Shane Mooney
at left corner forward.
It was a poor first half display from
the Fin as Bright scored 3-8 with
the Fin only managing to get 3 points
in reply, one from James Brannigan
and two from Adrian O'Hare.
An inspirational half time team talk
and some astute tactical substitutions
and switches enabled the Fin to regroup
and put in a fantastic second half.
The Fin played by far their best 30
minutes of football this season out
scoring their opponents by 4 points
in the second half. Brannigan scored
5 points, A O'Hare adding another
two to his tally with Sean Ladd and
Rory Murphy grabbing a point a piece.
Special mention must go to debutant
Chris Doran who scored a brilliant
goal following a well taken point
moments earlier.
Bright ran out winners 4-14 to 1-13
but the Fin can take heart from their
second half display. As well as the
scorers mentioned there were also
good performances from Paddy Mooney,
Marty Burns and Kevin Walker.
Next game is away to Dromara this
Friday night. Training continues on
Monday and Wednesday nights at 7pm.
We need everyone there lads as there
is now fierce competition for places.
Juvenile training continues on Saturday
