Dundrum Notes 15th Sept 2008


* The Seniors ventured to Tullylish last Monday night for a crunch Division 2 game. However, after a brave and valiant effort from the Duns, the West Down team won out by eight points, 0-14 to 1-03.
The homeside led 0-07 to 0-02 at the break. Dundrum's scores came from Conor McShane and Kieran Walsh.
The 2nd half was a tight affair. The Lish whacked over seven points while the away side had themselves 1-01. Shea Curran grabbed a late goal while Paul Rooney weighed in with a point.
Overall, this was another gutsy and determined performance from the Seniors but unfortunately they fell short again.
There were good displays from Eamon King in goals, Michael Rooney, John Hurley and Aaron Doyle in defence while Cormac Venney and Conor McShane put in impressive contributions in the attack.

Dundrum: C.King, M.Rooney, M.Cunningham, J.McKibben, C.Hogg, J.Hurley, A.Doyle, S.Curran (1-00), K.Walsh (0-01, 1F), C.McShane (0-01), C.Venney, M.Melville, P.Rooney (0-01), C.King, C.McKee. Subs: R.Fitzsimons, C.Miskelly, M.Fitzsimons, NJ McLaughlin.

* Next up for the Seniors is Kilclief at home on Saturday at 5pm. Players are to meet at 4pm.

* The Reserves finished their season off with two games in the past week. Last Wednesday they travelled to table toppers Liatroim III's with only fourteen players. The superior homeside dominated from start to finish and won handsomely on a 9-18 to 0-02 scoreline.
The Duns had to play the 2nd half with only thirteen players after Martin Melville went off injured. This made it extremely difficult for the remaining players on the field who battled gamefully to the final whistle.
On Sunday St Johns provided the opposition for the season finale and it was the Drumnaquoile men who emerged victors on a 1-12 to 0-09 scoreline.
The Duns fielded with the bare fifteen while St Johns had rich pickings from their subs bench.
The Johnnies went in trailing by a point at the break (0-07 to 0-06) but a strong 2nd half saw them come through.
Dundrum played some great stuff in the 1st half with the defence on top. The 2nd half saw legs tire but nevertheless the team never gave up.
Philip Stacey was excellent with his precise kickouts while Paul Byrne, Danny McGrattan and Paddy Curry gave little away in the full back line. Conall McKee, Michael Rooney and Conor Miskelly defended courageously in the half back line while Chris Hogg was outstanding in midfield along with his partner Gareth Malley. Richard Fitzsimons took some nice scores at centre half forward and recieved some good support from Cormac Venney and Mark Fitzsimons on the wings while the full forward line of Barry Walsh, Gerard Graham and Rab Smyth foraged hard for the hour.

A big thanks goes to the Reserve team management of Paddy Doherty and Peter McCormick who took over the reigns of the 2nds management this year. Hopefully, the two men will be there next year to try to guide this set of players further through the ranks.

* Most East Down fixtures are nearly wrapped up with only the U-12s left in action. They still have to play a re-arranged B Championship Semi Final with St Johns.

* There will be a committee meeting on Monday the 22nd in the clubrooms at 7.30pm

* Tomorrow night (Thursday) there will be defibrilator training in the Parish Centre at 7.30pm. Anyone involved in the coaching of teams or are a member of the Car Boot teams should be in attendance. Any other club members are also welcome to attend.
