Intermediate Hurling Lge.rnd.9 2012-06-18 09:26:00

Fr.O Neills 1:10 v Charleville 0:16

We played Charleville in rnd.9 of the Intermediate Hurling Lge.on Sun.in Aghavine,with most of the team that played in the 1st.rnd.of the C/ship.on duty hopes were high of continuing our unbeaten run of late but alas our hopes were in vain,to say this was a below par performance is not understating what unfolded before those of us present with attitude and commitment sadly lacking in a big way,maybe this is what you could call a blip and i'm sure the Management will be doing all in their power to ensure this is put behind us as soon as possible.We started the game brightly enough and if we were more clinical in front of goals we could easily have been 2 goals and 2 points up before Charleville got the games and their opening score after 6 mins,they duly went on to get the next 4 points before we opened our account with a point from a free we tacked on 2 more pts.only for Charleville to rattle of 4 more unanswered pts.after that,we replied again with 2 pts.of our own and our opponents finished the half with another pt.to leave the half time score 10pts.to 5pts.in favour of Charleville.

Hoping that we would up the ante in the 2nd half and take the game to Charleville was disapointingly wrong with our opponents rattleing off the first 4 pts.of the half to take control of proceedings,we replied again with 3 pts.of our own to offer some hope but the complete dominance of Charleville's half back line and their centre field made our task all the more difficult we did fire over 2 more pts.and score a rather fortunate goal to our opponents 2 pts.in reply to put a more respectfull look to the scoreline and finished the game looseing on the above score.Hopefully as i say this was what i would call a blip and with a change in attitude things can only get better from here on.
