By Eamon Quinn, Carryduff
Carryduff overcame a strong Downpatrick
challenge in De La Salle grounds Downpatrick on 2.3.03.
Mathew Quinn opened up Carryduff's scoring after ten minutes
of play. This was followed by a Ben Fitzimmonds point and
a point from Ciaran Conway. Downpatrick replied with a number
of scores while players such as Barry Cearney,Christopher
Quinn and Joe Mc Cauley put pressure on the visitor's defence.
Downpatrick began to impose their presence on the game.
Midway through the first half Declan Alder
received an ankle injury. Hopefully this will heal. Rory
Clifford took over in nets and did an excellent job. Chris
Mooney began taking the kick outs and several positional
switches were made on the Carryduff team. Sean Molloy delivered
a high ball into the full forward line,Connor Gardner caught
the ball,turned and crashed the size 5 to the back of the
net for a very well taken goal. Carryduff led at the start
of the second half but Downpatrick battled valiently never
letting Carryduff lie on their laurels.
A brace of points from Mathew Quinn and
a brilliantly executed goal from Ciaran Conway meant that
Carryduff maintained their lead despite continuous pressure
from the Downpatrick side. Every member of the Carryduff
panel contributed to this hard fought victory. The back
line of Mooney, Maguire and Grahame maintained their composure
despite the constant Downpatrick attacks. Barry O Neill
covered a lot of ground in midfield ably assisted by Ryan
Hanna.
