Ballyhegan v Annaghmore

This past Sunday saw Annaghmore open their division three campaign away to local rivals Ballyhegan.  In the first league game between the sides in many years, it was the away side that started the brighter but despite 5 minutes of constant pressure they could not make their early domination count and 6 shots dropped into the keepers arms were all they had to show from the opening exchanges.  As a result it was Ballyhegan who opened the scoring as the home side began to settle but there lead was short lived as Matthew McNiece notched his first score of the day from play to open the away team's account before Shane Smyth put Annaghmore into a deserved lead after 15 minutes.  It was Ballyhegan who then began to dominate and only a fine save from Martin Willis denied them a first goal. They did get the next two scores during a 5 minute purple patch, the second of which was a free from their top scorer Paddy McKeever.  Matthew McNiece levelled the game after 20 minutes before Paddy McKeever's second free of the day put the home side back in front 5 minutes before half time.  As the half time whistle approached Annaghmore began to insert their authority again and Oisin MacIomhar's goal ensured they lead at the break by 1-3 to 0-4.

The second half started slowly as the snow began to fall in North Armagh and it was the home team who adjusted the better to the fluctuating conditions as Paddy McKeever raced through the Annaghmore defence to score the games second goal.  The goal seemed to inspire the home team and from the ensuing kick out they were able to score again to open up a two-point lead.  As the snow continued to fall the game again slowed but this time it was Annaghmore who responded better as points first from Michael McQuade and then two frees from Shane Smyth put them back into the lead.  As time began to expire it seemed that a Paddy McKeever free had salvaged a draw for Ballyhegan but a John McCormack 14 yard free deep into injury time gave Annaghmore a much deserved away win on a final score line of 1-7 to 1-6.

Annaghmore Scorers

O MacIomhair 1-0, S Smyth 0-3 (2 frees), M McNiece 0-2, M McQuade 0-1 J McCormack 0-1 (1 free)

Good win for Cullyhanna versus Harps by thirtenn points to seven . Excellent performances from Malachy Mackin and Barry Mc Conville in midfield and Liam O Hare and Aidan Mackin in attack. Harps very disappointing though even with all their county men apart from Peader Toal play :Ding. Ciaran Mc Keever came on as a sub for St Pats early in the game and made a big difference. Goods start for the pats. Heard that Pearse Ogs Beat Mullaghbawn and drominte beat maghery.
