Junior A Football
Passage 4—9 Whitecross 1—9
Passage Junior A Football team put in a solid second half in getting a comprehensive nine point victory over a strong Whitecross side in the McSweeny Cup competition played at a very blustery Manning Park on Sunday Morning.
Playing with the aid of a strong wind in the opening period Whitecross raced into a seven points to two lead after 15 minutes, Passage had their chances but some wayward kicking kept their score low.
But a Eamon Fitzgerald goal on twenty six minutes brought Passage right back into the game, they also tacked on a point to let it 1—3 to 8pts at the break.
The second half saw Passage dominate all over the pitch as their quick passing and running off the ball had the visitors in all sorts of trouble.
Shane Howard opened the scoring with a fine point from out on the right to make it 1—4 to 8pts, points soon followed from James Kind, before Eamon Fitzgerald had two goals in as many minutes to put the game to bed. Points from James Kind, Fitzgerald and a cracker of a goal from Colm Driscoll had Passage run out easy winners by 4—9 to 1—9.
Midway through the second half both sides were reduced to 13 men each as the referee saw fit to show the red card after a minor scuffle.
Overall a good display by the home side.
