Warrenpoint 0-8 Mayobridge 1-14 (SFL)
17/04/2009

Mayobridge started their 2009 league campaign with a visit to Moygannon to face newly promoted Warrenpoint. The home team opened the scoring with a first minute point before John Quinn got the Bridge's first score of the league campaign, Ronan Sexton followed up with a point three minutes later. In the next ten minutes both sides displayed an element of rustiness making a lot of simple mistakes and giving the ball away before Warrenpoint scored to draw level. On twenty minutes Ronan Sexton got his second point and then a Noel Sexton free put the visitor's two points up. Warrenpoint hit back with a point of their own before Shane O'Hare responded with a magnificent point from near the side line. In the dying minutes of the half Mayobridge tagged on three points from Michael Walsh, John Quinn and Ryan Brady to leave the half time score Warrenpoint 0-4 Mayobridge 0-8.

Mayobridge started the second half in a lively fashion with a Noel Sexton point in the first minute and then a fabulous Ryan Brady goal hardly a minute later. To Warrenpoint's credit they didn't give up the fight and responded with a point almost immediately. Shane O'Hare kicked another excellent long range effort before Cathal Magee got his first point of the evening. Eight minutes into the second half and with Cathal Magee now on the scoresheet all six of Mayobridge's forwards had now scored. Noel Sexton then scored his third point of the game, which the Point cancelled out a couple of minutes later, Benny Coulter operating from mid field got his first point on seventeen minutes. Warrenpoint scored a fine 50 on twenty minutes before John Quinn finished the sky blues scoring in the 24th minute with a nice point. Warrenpoint managed another point near the end of the game to leave the final score Warrenpoint 0-8 Mayobridge 1-14.

Throughout the game the Mayobridge defence was fairly solid and never gave Warrenpoint much in the way of goal opportunities, Brendan Grant had a commanding game on the edge of the square and allowed goal keeper Liam Coulter a fairly quiet night. Eoghan Woods caught some excellent ball at mid field and covered a lot of ground putting in the hard hits and disrupting anything the Point tried to build through the middle. Michael Walsh put in an excellent performance and linked well with Benny Coulter coming from mid field and apart from missing some fairly decent goal chances the rest of our forwards took a high percentage of the scoring opportunities which came their way. All in all it was a solid performance from Mayobridge under new manager Paul Carroll, but the 'Bridge will need to find couple of extra gears for the challenge of Kilcoo on Monday night. Best wishes to Paul Carroll, his selectors Robbie Coulter, Kevin Coulter, Sean Rooney and statician Pat Joe Magee for the season ahead.

sorry corporal-its only for the Correct score

Great report Mallon, Grant was very assured at full-back, i cant remember Liam Coulter making a save!!!!! Walsh is continuing to impress this year, he scored six or seven points against Kileavy at the weekend and put in a great hours work last night... our shooting needs to improve though, we could have scored a few more goals!!!!

[behind the wire]

good man amallon, another great report and highlights. if only ever club was as well organised on the PR front.

[WhoAreYaWhoAreYa!]

I said months ago, I was confident of the U21s retaining their title. I was shot down right away. Im glad that im right occasionally, despite what the wife says! I beleive a few appologies could be in order! Most notably from T O'Hare, who said he didnt rate Conor Maginn?!?! :L This board is always good for a laugh!
