Classy display earns the
points against Loughinisland
ACFL Div 2: Glasdrumman 0-15 Loughinisland 0-8


For the second time in four days Glasdrumman faced a team who had played their football in Division 1 last year and, having be soundly beaten by Annaclone on Friday night, they were in no mood for a repeat performance against Loughinisland at the Quarter Road on Monday night. From the throw in Glasdrumman went on the attack and were rewarded by a Cormac Murphy point from a free in the second minute followed by two more, from the same player, from play in the sixth and eleventh minutes. Indeed Cormac's accuracy, especially from long range frees was a feature of the game and he added a fourth from a sideline ball in the fourteenth minute before Gary Gordon pulled one back for Loughinisland.

Two minutes later Cormac scored a wonderful point from fully sixty metres and this was quickly followed by a point from Raymond Magorrian to further extend the Glasdrumman lead before Gary Gordon got his second point for Loughinisland. A flurry of activity in the last four minutes of the half saw Cormac Murphy add another two points to his and Glasdrumman's total before Ryan Stranney and Declan Grant exchanged points to leave the half time score Glasdrumman 0-9 Loughinisland 0-3.

Loughinisland started the second half with a greater sense of urgency and were rewarded with two points from Ryan Carvill before Declan Grant and Mark Valentine exchanged points in the tenth and twelfth minutes respectively. Pat Mallon got his name on the score sheet with a point for Glasdrumman in the sixteenth minute. Loughinisland moved Brendan Ward out to midfield to try to curb the dominance of Cormac Murphy and Declan Grant in this sector and he was rewarded with a point in the seventeenth minute.

Glasdrumman's total domination continued however with two more points from that man Murphy and one each from Pat Mallon and Raymond Clarke before Barry Savage ended the scoring with a point for Loughinisland to leave the final score Glasdrumman 0-15 Loughinisland 0-8.
