A good tight game played this morning in Tinryland. There were very little between the two teams in the first half. Very few goal chances created. Nurney started the brighter in the second half. They started to create chances and from a corner Josh Kearney headed against the outside of the post. Padraig O Brien then struck the post from a shot. This seemed to waken St Joseph’s up. Ross Moran struck the inside of the post and David Lynch followed up but was fouled by the Nurney Keeper inside the box. Oran O Boyle stepped up to calmly slot the ball home sending the keeper the wrong way. Nurney started to push forward and gave away a foul between the halfway and penalty box. Up stepped Alex Gordon with a great free kick the goalkeeper made a wonderful save pushing the ball onto the crossbar but Oran O Boyle followed up to grab his second.

Best for Nurney Adam Kelly, Josh Kearney and Padraig O Brien while Conal McGuire, Alex Gordon and Paddy Walsh were best for St Joseph’s .
