Antrim Football League – Division 1
Creggan 3-18 Glenravel 1-10
When Glenravel went in at half time with a three point lead in Wednesday evening’s Division 1 League game against Creggan it looked like they were in with a chance of getting a result, but Creggan came out in the second half and blew the visitors away, scoring 2-11 while holding the visitors to a single point to maintain their place in second place in the league table.
The signs were there from the very start as the Kickhmas flew from the traps with a goal from corner forward Conor Johnston and four unanswered points, two of them Ruairi McCann,, one from Fintan Close and the other from goal scorer Johnston to open a seven point lead.
An Eamon Fyfe point in the tenth minute got Glenravel going and they began to settle into the game with further points from Fergus Donaghy, Aidan O’Donnell and Declan Traynor, and when O’Donnell landed a 2-pointer midway through the half they were back to within a point of the home side.
Creggan came back with two pointed frees from Ruairi McCann but Glenravel stayed in the chase when O’Donnell landed another two pointer and when Fyfe added a point three minutes from the break they were back on terms. Creggan squandered a great chance of a goal a minute later and in first half injury time the visitors took advantage when Conor McQuillan finished off a good move with a well taken goal to give his team an unlikely one goal lead at the interval. (1-06 to 1-09)
Just as they had done in the first half Creggan raced away at the start of the second and Matthew Rodgers, James McCann and Kevin Small added points before Conor Johnston got his second goal to put his team a goal ahead. The gap grew wider as Rodgers and Ruairi McCann (2) sent over points before Eamon Fyfe got Glenravel’s first score of the second half. As it turned out it was to be their only score as Creggan took complete control, with substitute Shea McCann making a real impression by scoring a goal and four point to help his team to an emphatic 3-18 to 1-10 win.
