  • Senior League Div1E Swinford v Kilmovee

    Senior League Div1E Swinford v Kilmovee

    On a fine evening for football we lost to Kilmovee Shamrocks by the minimum on a score of Swinford 2-6 Kilmovee 1-10.

    We got off to a great start with a goal by Darragh McIntyre with our first attack, a long ball that deceived the Kilmovee goalkeeper and went over his head into the goal. Frees were then swapped by both teams with Darren Campbell knocking our one over. The visitors then kicked three points without reply to level the game. Darren Campbell put us back in front with a free after Fergal Loftus was hauled to the ground just outside the penalty box.

    Disaster struct when a a 45 from Kilmovee dropped short and with a shot from 15 yards out was struck through a body of players into the goal.

    We didn’t let that affect us and our next attack saw a well taken goal by Cillian O’Donnellto put us back in front. Kilmovee soon leveled and both teams swapped wides before the half time break.

    The second half was very slow to get going but we again retook the lead with a point from Mark McNicholas which was followed by a point from Darragh McIntyre. It took until the 18th minute from Kilmovee to register a score inthe second half but they soon had another to keep the teams level.

    Again both teams swapped frees and with five minutes we weve level for the 4th time. Two more frees for Kilmovee had them 2 up and the match into injury time. Kevin McDonagh entered the match and the Kilmovee goalkeeper made up for his earlier mistake to pull off a great save. We had another attack with ended with a 21 yard free which was shot just over the bar and the game finished with a disappointing one point defeat.

    Swinford Damien Geraghty, Eoin Gallagher, Paul McDonagh, Aiden McLoughlin, Mark McNicholas, Kevin Barry, Joshua Smith, Barry Brennan, Darragh McIntyre, Cillian O’Donnell, Gerry Callaghan, Darren Campbell, Pearse Rowley, Fergal Loftus, Caoimghin McLoughlin, subs Andy Lenihan, Sean Prendergast, Stephen Loftus, Kevin McDonagh

    Score: Darragh McIntyre 1-1, Darren Campbell 0-4, Cillian O’Donnell 1-0, mark McNicholas 0-1
