U21 B Football Championship
Sarsfields 0-7 Dunloy 2-14
Dunloy booked their place in the under 21B semi-final with an impressive win away to Sarsfields on Sunday afternoon. With both teams getting to grips with the conditions, the early stages were tight as they traded scores.
The decisive moment of the first half though came on 15 minutes when Ben O’Kane won a Sarsfield’s kick out and fed Oisin McCamphill who made no mistake finishing to the net. Following the goal Dunloy were able to gain a bit of momentum in attack and started to pick off some impressive scores. Sarsfields replied with two points of their own just before the half time whistle to leave it all to play for in the second half.
Half time score Sarsfields 0-4 Dunloy 1-6.
The second half started as the first half finished with Sarsfields fighting their way back into the game and scoring a point in their first attack. They pressed Dunloy in their own half however the Cuchullains defence stood strong and were able to eventually break out and score a point of their own.
They traded further scores but Sarsfields were unable to close the gap and with time against them it was starting to seem a difficult task. With 10 minutes remaining the result was put beyond doubt when Francis McMullan broke through the Sarsfields defence and finished emphatically to the net. Dunloy finished strongly to claim the victory in an entertaining game at the Bear Pit.
