Dunderry results week ended 29/07/2012.

The under 14 footballers were fixed to play Round Towers ,Kells last Tuesday in Dunganny.A sizable crowd turned up but no game was played.The rain came down in sheets and the whole place was flooded.Summer League is right.
On Thursday we player Trim in the A league in football in the pitch.Things had dried out well since Tuesday and the pitch wasn't bad.

I missed the first fifteen minutes during which Trim scored two goals and a few points,Seemingly they attacked in numbers from the half back line and caught us on the hop.For he last 15 minutes of the first half we were outscored but not outplayed as both sides played an attractive style of open football,with good periods of inter passing.I didn't take the score but would say we went in seven pints down.
Some fine football was played in the second half by both sides ,with our backs,particularly the half back line spraying passes allover the shop to advantage.Both sides excelled at closing down the man in possession,that is surrounding him if he delayed.While the Clonard referee was generally good,it seemed to both sets of supporters and indeed to me,that he was inconsistent at times,sometimes penalising the man in possession and other times penalising the tacklers.There is no suggestion that he favoured one side over another but at times you had to scratch your head to figure why a free had or had not been given.
Assisted by a deserved penalty put away with aplomb by Stephen Coogan ,we fought back to lead by two points with three minutes to go.We ended up bet by one point.Go figure.Only ourselves to blame.A draw might have been a fairer reflection of what I saw.Trim won't complain.
The backs played well,the half back particularly so.Finn and Swiss are on their game.Midfield had its moments and the forwards scored enough to win had we kept ahead.Ivan is on his game too and Carty is fast and brave.About 10 minutes after the break Lar Callaqghan replaced Gary Newman.
Final score Trim 2-11.Dunderry 1-12.Tight.
On the Camogie front the Junior Team beat Donaghmore Ashbourne by two goals I think.The under 18's were well beaten by Rathoath in a match where we had to forfeit home advantage because the pitch was warerlogged.
I swear that the children born this year have no notion of what summer looks like.
