Cumann na mBunscoil Group Final

On the 25th of May 2011 the Lisacul boys football team had an excellent victory over Tarmon NS. The game was played in O' Rourke Park, Castlerea,  where heavy showers and a strong breeze made playing conditions difficult.  However, it didn't affect the Lisacul teams performance.

In goals was Tom Byrne who had a brilliant game making several impressive saves.  At right back was Eoghan Walsh but he was soon moved to full forward where he scored and set up several scores.  At full back was the captain, Ronan Dooney, who had an excellent and rock solid game. He saved a goal on the line at an important point in the game.  At left back was Jarlath Lavin who played a crucial part in our team, winning frees when we were under immense pressure.

With the defense covered we'll now take a look further up the field.  In midfield was Matthew Webb, marking who was probably Tarmon's best player.  Matthew set up several goals and was partnered by Ciarán Lavin.  He won all the balls in and around midfield.  He distributed the ball well.  Ciarán Walsh was in corner forward and he scored a truckload of goals and won a lot of crucial balls.  He passed the ball generously to everyone.  Lee started the match in full forward but later switched with Eoghan as Meaveen replaced him in backs.  Ciarán Dolan was the other corner forward andhe scored two points. He did very well.

The subs were Darragh, Meaveen and Rebecca and they all played well when they came on.  Meaveen and Rebecca came on in backs.  Darragh came on in forwards and almost scored a goal. We had excellent support at the match as the rest of the senior room and the whole middle room came.  Happy birthday to the captain Ronan Dooney, he is now thirteen!  The team, the supporters and all the teachers sang happy birthday to him on the pitch at the end of the match.

Teh half-time score was 1-2 to 0-2 points.  The final score was 7-4 to 3-3.  The scorers were Ciarán Lavin 0-1, Ciarán Dolan 0-2, Ciarán Walsh 4-0, Eoghan Walsh 3-1.  Hard luck to Tarmon!
