Darragh Cross GAC notes
The minors lost by
a goal to Saul on Sunday, 2-06 to
1-06, after a late comeback saw
the visitors score a goal and three
points in the last three minutes of
the game. Darragh played some good
football, but were undone by a Saul
team that never gave up and battled
hard all game. Best for Darragh
were James McLarnon and Sean McGouran
in defence and Mark McMahon and Steven
Ward in attack. Mark McMahon scored
1-3, with the other points coming from
Michael Devlin, James McLernon and
Marty McClements.
The senior
footballers played their second
challenge game of the year on
Sunday, going down by a scoreline of
2-5 to 0-7 against Gort na Mona in
Belfast. Darragh were always chasing
the game, against strong opposition
whose league starts in the next few
weeks. The points for Darragh were
scored by Tom McMahon (0-2), Eoin
Mageean (0-1), Michael McMahon (0-1),
Paddy Murray (0-1), Marcus Miskelly
(0-1) and Gareth McGovern (0-1).
