Dunderry triumph over Ballivor in u 21 football.

Last night in Dunganny was the most miserable,hateful and despicable night weather wise I have ever experienced.
The rain sliced into the body,the icy wind cut into the flesh and your glasses would need wipers to see through the spills.
It is a greet tribute to the lads who togged out for Dunderry in the game against Ballivor therefor that they took to the field and  stayed there.I m glad to see that  some of them have ballsed up these last few years..
I think little of those eligible to play who made the choice not to make themselves available.In the most important and unique chance the hurlers got to play Bennetsbridge a number of years ago some people also choose not to be available ..This is not good enough
 David Newman who travelled home from America seven times to play the year we won the Senior Football championship sets the acceptable standard in availability and this should be aspired to  by all involved.
Anyhow those who defied the conditions to stay and play did the Club proud and at half time led by 2-12 to 1-2 with the assistance of a gale force wind and driving rain.
When we got another goal after the half time whistle I  couldn't stick it any longer and bolted for home.Our Finn who stood for the duration informed me that we won handy.
There will be harder tests.
 We won by 4-15 to 2-8 in the end and this is a fair reflection of what I witnessed myself during my stay there

We must have a record number of selectors for a Dunderry team.
Garret Dooley is Manager.Selectors are Stephen O Rourke,Eric Murray,Trevor Conaty,Paddy Darcy and Paddy Gorey as far as I know...between two and three  players per selector.
Moynalty is up next in football.
I know that a number of players who did play have the talent to make it at a higher level..
The question is whether they have they the attitude,dedication and determination to do so.
The next match will tell its own story.
