Northern Switchgear Senior Football Championship

Group 1

Tír nan Óg 1-16 Dunloy 2-27

Saturday 22 August

Brendan McTaggart reports from Whitehill

Reigning champions Dunloy made it two from two on Saturday afternoon as they defeated a spirited Tír na nÓg side with 14 to spare.  To say this was a shootout would be an understatement given there was 12 two point scores over the hour between the sides with the Cuchullains just edging that statistic.

Keelan Molloy was at his imperious best with 1-12 beside his name before being taken off, he would raise the orange flag on five occasions as well as scoring a first half penalty.  Luke McFerran got the second Dunloy major, bundling home from close range as the visitors to Whitehill excelled in the second half.

The home side were excellent for long periods of this game and more than contributed to the spectacle the game turned out to be.  Ciaran O’Neill firing over three two point scores while Darragh Fagan’s presence on the edge of the square was a telling factor although the Tír na nÓg forward would come further out the field when required. 

Despite a slow start to the game, Dunloy’s ability to create chances at will was a telling factor in the game.  Scoring in bursts, once the Cuchullains attacking machine clicked into gear, Tír na nÓg were powerless to resist.

The game was barely 25 seconds old when Ciaran O’Neill split the uprights from outside the 40 meter arc for the opening score of the game and while Tom McFerran replied with a two pointer of his own for the visitors, it was Tír na nÓg who had the upper hand in the opening exchanges.

The home side fired over three unanswered points with McAtamney, Sean Duffin and Fagan all raising the white flag before Dunloy created the first goal chance of the game.  Tom McFerran’s audacious chip coming back off the crossbar with the Tír na nÓg ‘keeper beaten.

The opening goal of the contest came in the 14^th minute with Molloy converting from the penalty spot.  Barry McCloskey making something from a nothing ball played into the danger area and he was dragged to the ground.

Tír na nÓg responded with O’Neill’s second two pointer but it was Dunloy who hit a scoring burst of their own.  Points from Conal Cunning and Nigel Elliott either side of a two point free from Molloy as a result of a breech infringement gave the Cuchullains a two point lead with 10 minutes of the half remaining.

The home side responded with Fagan scoring their goal in the 21^st minute however.  O’Neill’s long range effort coming back off the upright and Fagan reacted first to the danger and showed tremendous composure before firing home.

Dunloy finished the half strongly however with Molloy, Conal Cunning, Luke McFerran and a two pointer from Eoin McFerran while a solitary point from Ciaran Logan was the only response from the home side to leave the half time score 1-11 to 1-8 in Dunloy’s favour.

Tír na nÓg made an excellent start to the second half with a brace of points from Fagan (free) and McAtamney reducing the deficit to the minimum only for Molloy to open Dunloy’s account with his second two point score and first from open play.

The game momentum swung hugely in Dunloy’s favour when Ciaran McGrellis was black carded during an altercation, referee Ritchie Leahy seeing his involvement in a ‘coming together’ as needless and the home side were reduced to 14 men for 10 minutes.

Before he would re-enter the game, Dunloy took control of the game.  Three two point scores from Molloy, fisted points from Tom and Eoin McFerran, Tom would add another while substitute Eoghan McGrath got his name on the score sheet.  A two pointer from a Fagan free outside the 40 meter arch the response from the home side but the Cuchullains stretched into a nine point lead in those ten minutes and effectively controlled the game for the remainder of the contest.

Nigel Elliott added another Dunloy score before Fagan’s second two pointer free of the second half left 10 between the sides but the Cuchullains showed no let up.  Molloy fired over a ’45 and while Ciaran O’Neill split the uprights for his third two pointer of the evening to leave nine between the sides with four minutes remaining, Dunloy finished strongly.

Points from McGrath and Luke McFerran preceded McFerran bagging the second major in the last minute of the hour.  Much like Tír na nÓg’s major in the first half, it was Molloy’s shot that came back off the upright before McFerran palmed the ball to the empty net.

Dunloy will look now to a meeting with Con Magees in two weeks time in Ballymena with the knowledge that their place in the quarter final is booked and a win for Rossa against the men from Glenravel tomorrow would see the Cuchullains finish top with a game to spare.  Tír na nÓg’s fate is a little less clear but they will face Rossa in Hannahstown in match day three.

Northern Switchgear Antrim SFC Group 2 

St Pauls 1-11-3-15 Creggan 

Kevin Herron reports from Pairc Naomh Pol 

CONOR JOHNSTON struck Creggan’s third goal in the 51st minute and it proved crucial to seeing off the stern challenge of hosts St Pauls in his sides 3-15-1-11 win at the Shaws Road on Saturday evening. 

Both sides went into the game knowing the importance of victory having tasted defeat in their respective opening encounters to Ballymena and St Johns. 

It took four minutes for Creggan to find the opening score courtesy of Kevin Small and brother Conor doubled the advantage from a close range free a few minutes later. 

The opening goal arrived after 9 minutes and fell to visitors. Ethan Carey Small and Shea McCann played a one-two close to the byline and the ball was slipped into Kevin Small to apply the finish. 

A fisted Eunan McAteer point followed, before St Pauls got up and running for the evening through a Ciaran O’Dufaigh free after a push on Conal Duffy and O’Dufaigh swung over an angled placed ball within 60-seconds. 

The hosts first from play came through Conal Duffy after a shot had drifted across the face of goal and was kept in play by Niall McStravick, who laid the ball to Duffy to pop over. 

At the other end Sean Duffin opened his account, ahead of Ciaran O’Dufaigh swinging a two-pointed free between the posts to make it 1-4-0-5. 

The Small brothers combined as Kevin added to his 1-1 already amassed in the opening exchanges and it was the start of a ruthless purple patch before the interval. 

In the 23rd minute Creggan had their second goal of the game, perhaps fortuitous as Jamie McCann’s attempted cut back was deflected past Jack McAufield. 

Points followed through goal scorers Small and McCann, with Ciaran O’Dufaigh kicking his second two-pointed free of the half briefly halt the visitors momentum. 

Creggan almost had a third goal before the break, Jamie McCann floated a forward pass that Jack McAufield didn’t deal with convincingly  and in the chaos that ensured Conor Small settled for an angled point. 

On the stroke of half time Jamie McCann added a free as his side held a 2-9-0-7 lead at the midway point in proceedings. 

The visitors extended their lead eight minutes after the restart, Sean Duffin played the ball down the channel into the path of Conor Johnston, the corner forward headed towards the target and fisted over a point. 

St Paul’s cut arrears by a third with a goal in the 40th minute. Skipper Mark Munce floated a pass over the top that Ciaran O’Dufaigh raced onto, he dribbled the ball towards the target and rounded Oisin Kerr before half time substitute Shea Burns applied the finish and thumped home to make it 2-10-1-7. 

Fellow substitute Sean Og McLaren shot over and with little under a quarter of an hour remaining a third two-pointed free from O’Dufaigh had a goal separating the sides. 

It wasn’t until the 51st minute that Creggan opened up some breathing space. A quickly taken free was played into the path of Conor Johnston and he had the simple task of turning the ball home from close range to give his side a 3-10-1-10 lead. 

A converted free followed from Conor Small and then Kevin added to his personal tally after good work from substitute Sam Maguire in the build-up. 

Substitute Kevin Rice fisted over shortly after entering the fray, with Ciaran O’Dufaigh adding his sides final score of the evening from the placed ball. 

There was still adequate time for Jamie McCann to flash over his third point of the contest and Sean Duffin to fist a further point to close out the game and ensure Creggan ran out 3-15-1-11 winners and reignite their hopes of progressing from the Group. 

Creggan will hope that they can secure progression from the Group with a victory over All Saints when they meet in Randalstown in two weeks time, while St Pauls only have pride to play for in their clash against St Johns in Hannahstown on the same Sunday afternoon. 

ST PAULS: J McAufield, A Kavannagh, E McGreevy, C Killyleagh, M Duffy, M Munce, L Phillips, C Trainor, C Finnegan, N McKenna, Conal Duffy (0-1), C Hughes, Caomhin Duffy, N McStravick, C O’Dufaigh (0-9f, 3×0-2ptf, 3×0-1f). SUBS: S Burns (1-0) for C Hughes (HT), S Og McLaren (0-1) for Conal Duffy (37), P Magee for M Duffy (45), R Hamill for N McKenna (51), C Duffin for C Finnegan (54). 

CREGGAN:O Kerr, L McLernon, R Johnston, A Maguire, E McAteer (0-1), E Carey Small, D McAteer, K McCann, J McCann (1-3, 0-1f), S Duffin (0-2), K Small (1-4), S McCann, J McAteer, C Small (0-3, 0-2f), C Johnston (1-1). SUBS: C McCann for L McLernon (34), S Maguire for C McCann (42), M Johnston for D McAteer (51), K Rice (0-1) for K Small (56), A Martin for C Johnston (60+1).

NORTHERN SWITCHGEAR SFC Group 3 Round 2

St. Ergnar’s Moneyglass 0-15 Erin’s own Cargin 3-18

Cargin booked their place in the knockout stages of the Northern Switchgear SFC when they recorded a 12 point victory over St. Ergnat’s in a feisty championship clash on the old Moneyglass pitch on Saturday afternoon.

In the end the victory was totally deserved but the margin of victory doesn’t do justice to a young St. Ergnat’s side who will look back in regret at the two first half goals they conceded when they were well in contention.

Both goals came as a result of turnovers in the home defence but they came as a result of an intensive press by their opponents, the second coming after St. Ergnat’s had just taken a two point lead.

Featured Image: Benen Kelly fires home Cargin’s opening goal and (Above) Jack O’Neill punches the air in celebration after forcing home their second.

Conhuir Johnston kicked Cargin into the lead with a point after 20 seconds and David Johnston added a second before Moneyglass replied through Tiernan McCormick and Callum Murray to draw level with only 6 minutes gone.

Pat Shivers and Colum Duffin exchanged further points and Ciaran Bradley fisted over to edge the visitors ahead before an intercepted clearance saw Benen Kelly take advantage to fire to the net and put the Toome side 1-4 to 0-3 ahead.

St. Ergnat’s looked in trouble but responded magnificently and the impressive Aidan McErlain looked to have turned the game on its head when he fired over three 2 pointers in quick succession to edge the hosts 0-9 to 1-4 ahead at the end of the opening quarter.

Back came Cargin and Benen Kelly kicked an excellent point to reduce the gap before another sustained press forced another error in the Moneyglass defence and Jack McCann, lying on the ground was first to react as he forced the ball home from close range.

Tomas McCann edged Cargin 2-6 to 0-9 ahead as the exchanges intensified and Fergal Duffin was shown Yellow after a strong collision with McCann which forced the Cargin number 11 out of the action.

Back came St. Ergnat’s and Sean Boyd raced through and might have had a goal but his well struck effort sailed over with Mick McCann and Conhuir Johnston responding at the other end to move the Toome side 2-9 to 0-10 ahead after 27 minutes.

St. Ergnat’s responded and Dermot McErlain looked in for a goal but John McNabb pushed his effort away for a ‘45’ with Tiernan McCormick stroking the resulting award between the uprights to leave 4 in it at the break.

Things began to heat up as the second half got underway before boiling over and Fergal Duffin for St. Ergnat’s and Pat Shivers and Mick McCann for Cargin were all shown Red with only six minutes gone and the question was, how would the extra man affect the game?

That question got a quick answer as keeper, John McNabb came forward to strike a great score from distance and raise an Orange flag and when Jack O’Neill raced clear to finish to the net for his second and his side’s third goal of the game, the tide had firmly swung in favour of the visitors.

They began to slow the game down and move the ball around confidently and Conhuir Johnston fired over a 20^th minute free before Aidan McErlain replied for the home side with an excellent score from play.

Moneyglass continued to battle but were guilty of a number of bad misses while McNabb in the Cargin goals pulled of a good save to deny Caolan Boyd the goal that the home side desperately needed.

The scores dried up at this stage though substitute Fiontan Hardy got his name on the Cargin score card with a fine point and Mark Kelly made a similar statement as he added his name to the visitors total before Tiernan McCormick concluded the scoring with a consolation 2 pointer off the ground for Moneyglass.

This win guarantees Cargin a place in the play-offs and the Toome side appear to be finding their form just at the right time and are sure to be serious contenders for the title while defeat ends St. Ergnat’s interest for this season.

Their management will take a lot of heart however at the effort this young side put in and having evaded relegation with an excellent win over Tir na nOg, a couple of weeks ago, the future looks bright for the Moneyglass side.

Moneyglass: 1 Jamie McLaughlin, 2 Callum Murray, 3 Zach McCaughan, 4 Eunan McErlain, 5 Sean Boyd, 6 Fergal Duffin, 7 Conleth McCann, 8 Tiernan McCormick, 9 Seanchan Duffin, 10 Paul Duffin, 11 Aidan McErlain, 12 Caolan Boyd, 13 Ewan McGrath, 14 Colum Duffin, 15 Dermot McErlain

Northern Switchgear Antrim SFC Group 4 

Lámh Dhearg 1-15 Aghagallon 2-10

Kevin Herron reports from Hannahstown 

LÁMH DHEARG were  seconds from being the first club to exit this seasons Northern Switchgear Antrim SFC until Conor Murray dramatically thumped home a goal with virtually the last kick of the game in their 1-15-2-10 win over Aghagallon at Hannahstown on Friday evening. 

Having lost their opening encounter to Portglenone and with Aghagallon dismantling Sarsfields in their opener, anything other than a victory would realistically see the Lámhs exit the Championship at the Group stage for the second year in succession. 

For St. Mary’s, they made the trip to the Black Mountain knowing that victory would assure a spot in the last eight with a game to spare. 

It was the host that registered the early scores, Ryan Murray took a pass from Owen McKeown made room for a shot and swung in a shot that crashed off the large post and dropped over. 

They then doubled their lead following Paddy Mervyn’s floated pass into Pearse Fitzsimons, he laid off to Adam Murray and he in turn found Marc Jordan who flashed in a shot that rose over the bar. 

A two-pointer arrived courtesy of Murray, taking a popped pass from nephew Ross he showed nimble footwork and dug out a shot from outside the arc that sailed between the posts. 

It took Aghagallon until the 11th minute to register for the first time, Enda McCartan sent a diagonal pass into the path of Adam Loughran to shoot over on the turn. 

They had managed to reduce arrears to the minimum after Jonny Hannon converted a close range free and goalkeeper Luke Mulholland converted another placed ball from the other half of the field. 

The next four scores were equally traded, Lámh Dhearg twice extended their lead through Ben Rice and Ryan Murray points, only for Adam Loughran and Enda McCartan to reply on each occasion. 

In first half injury time the game’s opening goal arrived and it nudged Aghagallon into the lead for the first time. 

Enda McCartan flighted a high ball into the square and Ruairi McCann gathered, laid the ball off to Adam Loughran to sweep a low shot into the net and give his side a 1-5-0-6 advantage at the interval. 

It was Aghgallon who increased their lead after the break, Ruairi McCann intercepted Jack Lenehan’s side line ball and combined with Eoin Brankin who did just enough to fist the ball over at the near post. 

Lámh Dhearg had several chances to respond but their shooting was wayward in a frustrating opening to the half. 

Brankin would double his account for the half with a high shot that dipped over the bar and two minutes later his sides led stretched to six with Jack Lenehan landing a two-pointer. 

It looked to be curtains for the Lámhs when Aghagallon found the net for the second time in the 47th minute. 

Adam Loughran received a pass through the hands from Ciaran Maginnis and drove forward, Ben Rice and Declan Smyth collided in their attempt to cut out the danger and Loughran was able to drive towards goal, his original stop was kept out by John Finucane, but with the the covering defenders slow to react Loughran shot home at the second time of asking to make it 2-9-0-6. 

The Hannahstown men hit their opening score of the half in the 49th minute and it was a much needed Ryan Murray two-pointed free that began their attempt at a comeback. 

With no time to waste Paddy Cunningham shot over a close range free after Pearse Fitzsimons was felled and a further two-pointed Ryan Murray free left the deficit at four with over five minutes remaining (0-11-2-9). 

Momentum was very much with the Lámhs and they halved the visitors’ advantage again with a patient move that saw Marc Jordan, Donal Martin and Callum Fegan-Lappin combine to switch the ball to Mark Finnegan who kicked a two-pointer from the edge of the arc. 

It wasn’t until midway into four added minutes that the hosts pulled level. Mark Finnegan’s attempt at another two-pointer was blocked down, but Declan Lynch got to the loose ball and laid it off to Marc Jordan who calmly swept his shot from the edge of the arc over to make it 0-15-2-9. 

There was plenty of late twists still to come as Lámh Dhearg lost possession they were countered and Eunan Walsh had the opportunity to secure the win, though he fisted wide with just little under a minute to play, 

Walsh atoned and looked like he had secured the win when John Finucane’s quick kick-out was cut out by Adam Loughran and he found the deflated Walsh in space to fist over a simple score and edge his side back in front. 

This time their lead was brief as Declan Lynch was fouled after winning the resulting kick-out, 

Declan Smyth went for the tap and go and switched to Paddy Mervyn who slung the ball forward, Marc Jordan couldn’t drop the ball in and instead off-loaded to Paddy Cunningham whose high pass found Pearse Fitzsimons in the square and he made a simple switch to Conor Murray to thunder a close range shot low under Luke Mulholland and into the net. 

There was barely time for Mulholland to return the ball back into play before Mark O’Neill sounded his final whistle and the Hannahstown natives were able to breathe a huge sigh of relief that their hopes of making it out of the Group remained intact. 

Lámh Dhearg will be hoping to back their dramatic win up when they make the trip to Beechmount to take on West Belfast rivals Sarsfields in a fortnight, while Aghagallon and Portglenone met in Toome with plenty on the line. 

LÁMH DHEARG: J Finucane, M McGarry, D Lynch, Ross Murray, B Rice (0-1), P Mervyn, D Smyth, P Fitzsimons, M Jordan (0-3, 1×0-2pt), O McKeown, R Murray (0-8, 1×0-2pt, 2×0-2 ptf), D Martin, N McGarry, A Murray, J Davitt.

Northern Switchgear Antrim Senior Football Championship – Group1 Round 1

Conn Mag Aoidh 2-15 Tír na nÓg 1-18

Conn Mag Aoidh will look back on this Senior Football Championship encounter with a mixture of frustration and disappointment after surrendering a game they largely controlled, as Tír na nÓg’s clinical finishing ensured the spoils were shared in a 2-15 to 1-18 draw.

In other words, Conn Mag Aoidh created the opportunities to win the game — but Tír na nÓg made far better use of theirs.

Ryan McQuillan opened the scoring inside the first three minutes before adding another shortly afterwards, but Tír na nÓg settled and responded through Oliver McAtamney, Darragh Fagan and Eamon Óg McAllister.

McQuillan was central to Conn Mag Aoidh’s first-half performance, contributing a goal and a number of points. His goal in the 19th minute helped Conn Mag Aoidh regain control, before further scores from McQuillan, Colla Ward and Cahal Hynds saw them move into a 1-7 to 0-7 half-time lead.

The statistics tell the story of the opening half. Conn Mag Aoidh had the greater share of possession and territory, while their opponents were forced to rely on making the most of the chances that came their way.

Tír na nÓg came out strongly after the break, however, and Oliver McAtamney fired in a goal just five minutes into the second half to bring the sides level at 1-7 apiece.

Conn Mag Aoidh responded through Niall Hynds and McQuillan, with Aiden O’Donnell also getting on the scoresheet. Cormac McKeown then added two points as Conn Mag Aoidh appeared to be edging towards victory.

But Tír na nÓg simply refused to go away.

Darragh Fagan, who proved particularly influential from placed balls, kept the scoreboard moving, while Eamon Óg McAllister, Barry McCormick and Conor O’Neill also contributed as the visitors remained within touching distance.

With Conn Mag Aoidh leading 1-15 to 1-14, McQuillan looked to have delivered the decisive blow when he converted a penalty in the 59th minute, putting his side three points clear on 2-15 to 1-16.

Yet there was still time for Tír na nÓg.

Eamon Óg McAllister reduced the deficit to two before Darragh Fagan calmly converted a free deep into stoppage time to bring the sides level at 2-15 to 1-18.

It was a dramatic finish, but one which will leave Conn Mag Aoidh wondering what might have been.

There were also some excellent individual performances for Conn Mag Aoidh. Ryan McQuillan finished with 2-4 and 10 points, while Cormac McKeown contributed two two-point scores and a point. Colla Ward, Cahal Hynds, Niall Hynds, Rian Lennon and Aiden O’Donnell also got on the scoresheet.

For Tír na nÓg, Darragh Fagan finished with eight points, including four from frees, while Oliver McAtamney contributed their crucial goal and a point. Eamon Óg McAllister added three points.

Ultimately, this was a game Conn Mag Aoidh had every opportunity to win. They had more possession, dominated the kickouts, and led for significant periods, but football is decided by scores rather than possession statistics.

And on the day, Tír na nÓg were simply more clinical.

Conn Mag Aoidh will feel that they left a victory behind them, while Tír na nÓg can take great credit for staying in the contest and showing the composure to take their chances when it mattered most.

Conn Mag Aoidh: 1 Jude Scullion, 2 Declan McAuley, 3 Sean Higgins, 4 Niall Dickson, 5 Cahal Hynds, 6 Niall Swann, 7 Rian Lennon, 8 Callum Higgins, 9 Davy Higgins, 10 Eoin Hynds, 11 Colla Ward, 12 Niall Hynds, 13 Harry Fyfe, 14 Ryan McQuillan, 15 Cormac McKeown.

Tír na nÓg: 1 Sean Paul McAtamney, 2 Ciaran McGrellis, 3 Brandon McLarnon, 4 Ryan Crilly, 5 Aodhan Tolan, 6 Barry McCormick, 7 Ciaran Logan, 8 Cormac Devlin, 9 Ciaran O’Neill, 10 Sean McKeown, 11 Caleb Smith, 12 Oliver McAtamney, 13 Eamon Óg McAllister, 14 Darragh Fagan, 15 Connor McKenna.
