ACFL Division 3

Naomh Comhghall 2-19 O’’Donnell’s 1-5

On Saturday evening Naomh Comhghall senior men took on O’Donnell’s hoping to continue their unbeaten run. The first half saw the men find their formation and pursue a sleek flow of points ticking over from Miles Devine, Tom Patchett, Ryan Clarke and Ruairí Griffin.

O’Donnell’s continued to put pressure on the St.Comgall’s men but couldn’t manage to get into the rhythm nor break through the iron back line.

Momentum with the men in white continued, however O’Donnell’s made a few changes which gave them a second wind. The visitors powered on and found the back of the net getting them a well-deserved break onto the scoreboard.

In retaliation, Aaron McGaw found his way to the forefront of the O’Donnells defence and buried the first goal for St. Comgall’s into the back of the net and this was swiftly followed by another goal from a very athletic Ruairí Griffin.

Both sides exchanged points in the closing stages with Naomh Comhghall running out convincing winners against a side who were tipped to be their greatest rivals for the title at the start of the season.

A memorable night for the Naomh Comhghall men with the win, securing the league title and gaining promotion to division 2.

On behalf of Naomh Comhghall the committee and supporters would like to thank Barry Burns and his team for the management and success we have had with our senior men this year. We are looking forward to the championship and going for the double.
