Ballinlough beat Dunderry in Div 2 League 17/2/2013

report to follow.
Because Dunderry Pitch was a swamp  the match was played in Dunganny where conditions were perfect.A fitting tribute to the vision of Fintan Ginnity who bulled through the purchase despite opposition at the time.
It's a gorgeous Spring day.Nice cut in the strong wind which blew towards the town of Navan.
Dunderry Team.

Selectors.Tom Hanley,Tony Coogan ,Gerry Conaty and Kevin Keaveney.
In his other role Hanley is a selector for the Meatgh u 21 Football team so there was no chance we could play Simon Carty who would be playing with the County on theTtuesday to  come..(For the record he had a blinder as Louth were routed.).
Ballinlough scored a minor practically from thr throw in and Swiss missed a goal chance immediately after.Kelleher breaks up a prolonged Ballinlough attack and offloads to Finn ,to Kelleher to Dempsey to Coogan whose attempted pass  overshoots the runway and the ball dribbles wide.
We get a free from kickout but Coogan mishits from about fifty yards out and ball goes wide.Bomber fields kickout and transfers to Keith to Bob who scores a minor.Benjy Smith breaks up Dunderrry attaack but ball is intercepte by Finn who scores a minor from distance.Swiss is at the end of a good move by Dunderry and takes his point.Dempsey is down and Finn fouls .No.11 scores the free.SWiss takes a free for a foul on himself but Ballinlough collect it and then Dempsey is fouled.Then Bomber is fouled and collects the  ball from the short free.He hits wide.From 35 yards Coogan hits a free awareded for a foul on Aaron Newman wide.Ted hits wide from a ball broken by SWiss.Doc sets  up Lar.Wide. Ballinlough waste a free and then Red runs up a cul de sac and is penalised for overcarrying.We intercept the resultant short free and in turn overplay it forcing Demnpsey to concede a free.They intercept and  Gary Newman concedes a 21 yard free which is converted.Finn lets long ball in to Ted who is pipped by the full back and Ballinlough counter attack.
Both teams engage in alternate keep ball excercises where passes are strung together like confetti at a wedding ,brought to an end by Finn tsaking a great point from play on the run down the wing.Swiss then hits wide twice in succession from play.Keith is blown for i overcarrying and Dempsey for another foul.Ballinloufg fail to capitalise.A further phase of confetti like passing by both sides ensues to no great result only the passage of time and the familiarisation of each and every plauyer  with the feel of the ball.The spell is broken by a Dowd point from play.
Peadar Byrne hits wide from play.The game peters out by the blowing of the half time whistle.
