Saval Prove To Be Too Tough A Nut To Crack

Date Filed: 09 May 2011

Our footballers suffered a heavy defeat 4-10 to 1-7 against a very talented and confident Saval team in this division 1 tie. Electing to play against a strong wind our lads were under constant pressure during the first half.
However, we must applaud excellent performances from Michael Fitzpatrick and Shane Donnelly throughout the full 60 minutes. Both players again showed their ability to compete with the cream of the county at this level. Their leadership was an inspiration to all those present. Leo Doyle showed up well and the introduction of Michael and Chris Lennon in the second half give these young players an opportunity to taste the pace at this high level.
