Dundrum Club Notes - 1926th November 2007

* The club picked up two gongs at the East Down Awards last Friday night in the Liatroim CLG clubrooms. Paul McComiskey won the East Down Senior Player of the Year. He fought off competition from Loughinisland's Dan Gordon and Drumaness's Donal Kennedy to land the prestigous trophy.
Chairman Ollie Forsythe was then called to the stage to pick up the Club of the Year award. This is the second time in three years that Dundrum have won this award.
Hard luck to Martin Coughlan who was shortlisted for the Reserve Player of the Year and Collie Magee who was nominated for the Juvenile Referee of the Year.

East Down U-13 League Section A
St Josephs (Ballykinlar/Dundrum) 8-08 Liatroim 4-03

It was goals galore at Ballykinlar on Sunday morning as St Joes triumphed over a spirited Liatroim side in a keenly fought encounter.
The Fontenoys were more than a match for their conquerors in the 1st half but the homeside monopolised the 2nd half and in the end came out worthy victors.
It was was St Joseph's midfielder Oisin McKibben who got the ball rolling with the first score of the game. Liatroim quickly followed suit but two scores on the trot from full forward Luke Hogg put the homeside in charge with ten minutes gone.
Shortly after Hogg's double Liatroim pulled one back but this was swiftly countered by an excellent goal by livewire attacker David McComiskey.
Three points in a row for St Joes followed McComiskey's goal. Conn Rooney (0-01) and Luke Hogg (0-02) done the damage as the homesters opened up a seven point lead.
With ten minutes of the half remaining Liatroim began to find some form as they managed another point. However, Luke Hogg was on hand to dampen their spirits once more as he fired to the net for St Joe's second goal.
Liatroim did pull back a major before the break but Philip Digney managed to reply with a wonder goal to leave his side in charge by nine points at the interval.
The St Joseph's management team made a number of changes at the break. These seemed to work well and proved that every single member of the panel was perpared to fight for his/her place.
The pacey Rory Kavanagh opened the scoring before Michael McShane got on the end of a Kavanagh pass to fire to the net. Liatroim responded brilliantly though and in the space of three minutes they converted two goals, one a penalty, to get themselves within seven points of their opponents.
As the game approached the final quarter St Joes upped the intensity of their play and began to dominate proceedings. David McComiskey weighed in with his second goal before Rory Kavanagh blasted two further three pointers to the net to effectively kill the game off.
With only minutes remaining Captain Conn Rooney grabbed his second point of the game before Liatroim grabbed a consolation goal late on.
However, the best score of the game came right on the hour mark. David McComiskey picked the ball up on the left wing before embarking on a trademark forage forward. After evading numerous tackles he slipped the ball through to Niall Walsh. In an instant Walsh slammed the ball to the top corner to round off a spectacular move and seal the lid on an excellent St Joseph's performance.
