In a bitterly cold Simonstown tonight an understrength Dunderry deservedly terminated the involvement of an equally understrength Movnalvey in the Under 21 Football Championship.THe winning margin was well deserved and a game opposition had no answer to a well drilled,committed,skillful and enthusiastic Dunderry outfit,who dominated from start to finish and were well worth the margin of victory.
That 25 players turned up is a tribute ,not only to the players and the Club but to the the management team of Ted Dowd,Swiss Clarke,Eddie Maguire,Paul Mc Govern and Donie Mooney ,who will realise that this is an important step on the journey to the laurels ,and won't get carried away.

and replacements Alan Garry,Paddy Kenneally,Andy MC Geogh,Davy Gilkinson and Shane Mooney were so in control that it would be churlish to single out anyone for praise over the other and it again demonstrates that all things being equal our lads are as good as can be got.In particular young Bruton.a late convert to the big ball game, showed that he is a match for anyone in a fair contest,which I understand he was denied in the recent past.
The usual supporter suspects ,lead in order of seniority by Jack Devine,Shamin Cregan,Phil Fay,Phil Cahill,Vincie Rattigan and Benny Brien were well backed up by the sixty year olds led by Jim Newman who in withdrawal sympthoms for the sweets usually supplied by Phil Fay on these occassions ,was desperately seeking stray sweets from the previous batch.No luck.
Consensus was that this is a fair team and shows some promise.
Even the judge was silent,a tribute to theis quality of some of the men he helped shape perhaps.
A good day at the Office.Roll on the Clans.
