  • Bonniconlon v Swinford 11th July 2015

    We maintained our good start to the league campaign with a hard fought win away to Bonniconlon on what was a cold July evening. Unfortunately the game was marred by a nasty injury to Barry Brennan mid way through the second half.  We wish Barry a speedy recovery.

    Bonniconlon got the first score of the game after two minutes with a soft free. After that both teams missed a load of chances and the next score didn’t come until the 17th minute when a scramble in the Bonniconlon goalmouth led to a goal by Barry Brennan. Another free led to Bonniconlon second score when our defence overcarried the ball.

    Jack McDonnell then led the way with three points though the last one did look as if it had gone to the left of the post and wide. Thankfully it is the referee view that counts and he gave the point. Bonniconlon then score two points to leave the game at half time 0-4 to 1-3.

    In the opening 8 minutes of the second half we took control of the game with a point from Liam Moran and three more from Jack McDonnell. The highlight been a free from the sideline out on the left by Jack. The game then swung the way of the home team and they rattled off 5 points to leave just a point between the teams midway through the half.

    At this stage Barry Brennan picked up his injury and the game was held up for a few minutes as he was stretchered off the pitch. Our physio Brian Galvin was on hand to skilfully deal with the situation. Kevin McShea came on for Barry.

    The team rallied and through Jack McDonnell and James Devaney we went three points ahead. Yet again Bonniconlon came back at us and scored the next three points to level the game as we entered injury time.

    We then showed strong resolve and to fine scores by Jack McDonnell and Kevin McShea saw us take the two points and a final score of Bonniconlon 0-12 Swinford 1-11.

    Never an easy place to go through Bonniconlon are much better then their current league position shows we showed will power to win the game and maintain our second place in the divison. Next up in another road trip to Louisburgh on the 26th July.

    Swinford: Ryan Convey, Jason Carney, Paul McDonagh, Paul McNicholas, Liam Moran, Mark Forkan, Kevin Doyle, Eoin Gallagher, Joe Kelly, Tom Horkan, John Carney, James Sweeney, James Devaney, Barry Brennan, Jack McDonnell. Subs: Johnny Burke, Kevin McShea.

    Scorers: Jack McDonnell 0-8, Barry Brennan 1-0, James Devaney, Liam Moran, Kevin McShea 0-1 each.

  • Senior League Div 1C Swinford v The Neale

    Both teams entered todays game sitting on 2 wins and would not have wanted to give an advantage on the league table to the other side but it is Swinford who now sit on 6 points after 4 games after a hard fought game.

    Straight from the throw in Kevin McShea put Swinford a point ahead and this was soon added to by a good run and score from Liam Moran in from the left.

    The Neale pulled a point back before a point and a goal from Barry Brennan put Swinford firmly in control. This was soon added to by a free from Kevin McShea and it looked like Swinford would stroll away with the game as they led by 1-4 to 0-1 with nearly 15 minutes gone.

    The Neale then struck two frees over the bar to reduce the deficit. In between these scores Ryan Convey made a great save in the Swinford goals.

    Swinford struck back with a score from Stephen Henry before The Neale scored the next three points, with two very soft frees given by the referee, to leave the gap at 2 points.

    Swinford then retook control of the games and two points from Jack McDonnell and a point from Kevin McShea restored a 5 point lead. Just before the break Stephen Henry had a great opportunity for a goal but the ball came off the post. Half time saw Swinford lead 1-8 to 0-6.

    A mixed start to the second half saw Stephen Henry extend the Swinford lead with a well taken point before Joe Kelly was adjudged by the referee to have pulled an opponent down and was shown the black card. James Sweeney came on as the replacement.

    The Neale pulled a point back before two frees, one from Jack McDonnell and the other from Kevin McShea saw Swinford lead by 7 with approximately 15 minutes gone.

    The Neale then began to dominate the game and scored a free before been reduced to 14 men but they then struck the next 1-3, including three frees to level the game as we entered the last eight minutes.

    The extra man then began to show and Tom Horkan put Swinford a point ahead before a goal from Jack McDonnell. A high ball into the small area seemed to be under easy control of the Neale goalkeeper but under pressure from James Sweeney he dropped the ball and Jack McDonnell finished off into an empty net.

    Stephen Henry finished off a fine game with his third point from play to end the game Swinford 2-13 The Neale 1-11.

    Swinford now go joint second in the table with  Castlebar Mitchels, both behind Islandeady with a third of the season gone.

    Swinford: Ryan Convey, Jason Carney, Mark Forkan, Paul McNicholas, Fergal Harte, Dermot Keane, Liam Moran, Joe Kelly, Eoin Gallagher, Stephen Henry, Kevin McShea, Tom Horkan, Jack McDonnell, Barry Brennan, James Devaney. Subs: James Sweeney

    Scorers: Jack McDonnell 1-3, Barry Brennan 1-1, Kevin McShea 0-4, Stephen Henry 0-3, Liam Moran, Tom Horkan 0-1 each.
