Cordal V Firies – East Kerry League Division 2 Round 2
Cordal Seniors were up against Firies in Round 2 of the East Kerry League last Sunday. Firies were the stronger team for the majority of the game and finished up with an eleven point lead over Cordal at 1-18 to Cordal’s 0-10. The game was played at Cordal GAA grounds at 2pm on Sunday the 19th of February. It was a misty and wet day for a game of football.
Cordal’s Strong Start
Cordal had a strong start with a point only minutes in scored by Sean Walsh from a free. This was followed by a point in the fifth minute from Michael Flynn and another point a minute later from Billy Cronin. Cordal’s momentum slowed after this and Firies held control of the ball for almost the rest of the half scoring 1-07 before Cordal made another score. James O’Donoghue fired the ball into the Cordal net in the eleventh minute setting Firies off to add an array of points.
Firies Tally
Ed Kerrisk, Mike Daly and Con O’Mahony each added two points to the Firies tally. Cordal hit back in the final minutes with point scored by Sean Walsh from a free. Sean Óg O’Ciardubhain held guard along with the backs, stopping two goal chances before the half was up. Sean Walsh ended the half with another point before the whistle was blown. Half Time left Cordal down six points at 0-05 to Firies’ 1-08.
In the words of Cordal’s John Brosnan “It was a game of two halves”, unfortunately for Cordal the character of the game didn’t change all too much for the better in the second half either. Firies were first out the gate with a point scored by Con O’Mahony in the sixth minute. Cordal’s Philip O’Connor increased Cordal’s tally with two points in the 9th and 11th minutes. Firies’ Ed Kerrisk knocked another point over the bar from a free in the 13th minute. Philip O’Connor was back on the attack with a point scored for Cordal two minutes later.
Two More Scores
Firies conjured up two more scores before another Cordal point was scored by Kieran O’Donoghue. Firies added another point in the 25th minute scored by Shane O’Donoghue followed by another from Ed Kerrisk and two more from William Courtney.
