Bredagh 1-05 v Ballykinlar
1-06, Cherryvale 13th June 7.30 pm
Report by Paul Doran, Bredagh
Ballykinlar gained only their second win of the season
with a one point victory over Bredagh on Friday night
at Cherryvale. This was a poor encounter with both
sides missing simple scores in perfect conditions.
The visitors opened the scoring when
full forward Gerard Steele found himself in acres
of space and tucked the ball past Danny Tracey. Paul
Reynolds (2)and Stephen Smith followed up with minor
scores before CJ Carson replied for Bredagh.At this
stage Conall Donnelly questioned a decision by referee
Mc Elroy and earned a yellow card for goalkeeper Tracey
- this was the highlight of the first half with further
points from Rory Mc Caughey and Paddy Finnegan leaving
a goal between the teams at half-time.On the restart
Bredagh were the hungrier but missed the accuracy
of Jamie Cleary to translate possession into scores.
The only return for 15 minutes pressure
was two points from Pete Carr and Michael Tunney but
the visitors took control and recorded points from
Reynolds , Smith and Steele. Play became scrappy and
Ballykinlar missed a penalty and had a player sent
off while Bredagh continued to miss easy scores. In
the final few minutes Mc Caughey shot to the net but
the expected fightback failed to materialise and the
visitors held on by the narrowest of margins.
