Bredagh
U12's reach semi final - 12/08/2003
Q-final - Bredagh 9-8 Castlewellan 5-3, August 10th, Cherryvale
Bredagh made it into the last four of the East Down A Championship
with a comfortable win over Castlewellan at a sun-drenched Cherryvale. The home
side took the game to Castlewellan and with Ruairi Johnston and Decky O'Hara pulling
the strings at midfield, Bredagh went ahead 4-7 to 0-3 at half-time.
The
half-forward line played some super football, the half-backs got in some great
blocks and Donal Hughes got on the end of a seven-man move to score the best point
of the half. Things were tighter in the second half, especially when debut 'keeper
Daniel Kelly sustained a nasty cut due to glass in the goalmouth. Decky O'Hara
was very unlucky when the visitors scored from the penalty spot after he saved
the first shot.
However thanks to great defensive work
from MVP Jamie Cleary and attacking work from Conor McCloskey, Bredagh regained
the initiative and finished with fine goals from Marcus Young to secure a semi-final
spot, probably on Sunday 17th August against Carryduff.
