Crossmaglen Rangers 0-12 St Patrick's 0-7

A bumper crowd was in attendance at St Patrick's Park last Friday evening to witness the first clash between the sides since their epic 2010 championship battles. While each side lined out a substantially different team than on that occasion, the only Division 1 match to go ahead last weekend was always likely to be keenly contested. Cullyhanna were keen to make a positive start and they managed to do so with Pearse Casey getting the opening score of the match. A Shane McKeever free doubled the St Pat's advantage before a brace of Crossmaglen points drew the All Ireland champions level. Another Shane McKeever free edged his side back into the lead before Crossmaglen responded with two scores to gain the advantage. An excellent Crossmaglen free from near the sideline extended their lead to two points after 25 minutes before Eugene Casey contributed the final score of the half when he showed great strength to hold off a couple of Crossmaglen challenges before kicking a good point. This left the halftime score Crossmaglen 0-5 St Patrick's 0-4 which was a fair reflection of a very even half between two seemingly well matched teams although the Crossmaglen advantage would have been much greater had it not been for two excellent saves from Deaglan McArdle.

St Pat's were back on level terms within a minute of the second half when Genie McCooey made a stylish run through the Crossmaglen defence before managing an excellent point. In the early stages of the half Cullyhanna had the lion's share of possession but frustratingly, they struggled to make the crucial final pass to the inside forwards. After seven minutes Crossmaglen showed the greater incisiveness cutting through the Cullyhanna defence for a point. With 10 minutes gone in the half, a Eugene Casey free dropped short but substitute Robbie Tasker pounced onto the loose ball and marked his return with a point. Tasker was on the scoresheet two minutes later after a well delivered pass by Kyle McEvoy allowed him to kick a point. At that stage Cullyhanna were a point to the good and looked like they had every chance of securing the league points. However that was to be the final score of the match for St Pat's as their challenge petered out. Crossmaglen reacted to their deficit in great style, scoring three points in two minutes to regain a lead they were not to relinquish. The difference between the sides was evident in the final quarter as despite enjoying plenty of the ball, Cullyhanna could not break down a Crossmaglen defence and fell victim to a number of pacey counter-attacks. By the end Crossmaglen's total had extended to twelve points in all as they ran out winners on a scoreline of Crossmaglen Rangers 0-12 St Patrick's 0-7.

While this was a disappointing result and a far from vintage performance, the most pleasing aspect of the evening was the return to action of Tony Donnelly, Gary McCooey, Paudie McCreesh and Robbie Tasker as second half substitutes. As these players bed back into the side in the weeks to come, the side will hopefully get back to winning ways. Best on the night for St Pat's were Stephen Reel, Deaglan McArdle and Eugene Casey.
