Minors Defeat Aghabullogue in league opener

Minor Football League: Carraig na bhFear minors got their football campaign off to a bright start with a League win against Aghabullogue on Sunday.  A very strong midfield combination of Jamie Fuohy and Eoin O'Keeffe kept Carraig on the front foot for most of the match, and both players got on the  scoresheet too, scoring a goal each in the first half.  Playing good attacking football, Carraig led at the break and started the second half strongly with a goal and two points from James Meehan to stretch into a commanding lead. Aghabullogue came back strongly before the finish, and Carraig's defence, in which James Forde and James O'Reilly starred, held firm.   Carraig ran out winners on a scoreline of 3-11 to 2-10. Team: Ger Spillane (Capt.), James O'Reilly, Colm Cooney, Kieran Minihane, James Forde, Joseph Murphy, Eoghan Buckley, Eoin O'Keeffe, Jamie Fouhy, John Forde, Padraig O'Sullivan, Alan Cahill, James Meehan, Michael Murphy, Joe O'Donnell. Subs: Jack O'Shea for O'Donnell, Ryan Galvin for Buckley.

Carraig na bhFear started the better of the two sides and aided by the wind led at half time on a scoreline of 1-4 to 1-1. However, Carrigtwohill started the second half strongly and took control of the game when they scored 1-2 inside the opening 10 miinutes of the half. Carraig fought back well but found the visitors defence hard to break down and in the end, Carrigtwohill ran out winners by 6 points.
