Fr.O Neills 0:07 v Midleton 0:05

We recorded our 2nd.win in this years Jnr.f/ball Lge.campaign with a hard fought win over Midleton. On a damp day which led to greasy under foot conditions a low scoring game was always on the cards and so it proved with the first score coming 9 minutes into the game,both sides were guilty of some very poor finishing with the half time score of 3pts a piece a fair reflection of proceedings up to then,a feature of the first half was the tackling and commitment shown by both teams with no quarter being asked or given.The 2nd half was to go the same way as the first with both teams making basic mistakes when in a scoring position which led to possesion being lost on numerous occasions by both sets of forwards,as the half went on it was evident to the good size crowd present that the team that was to avail of a couple of the many scoring chances that were being created by both sides would win the game,with our lads sensing this it wasn't long before we got our noses in front and closed out the game with two late frees,a noteable feature of the game was the fitness levels shown by both teams and a willingness to work hard when not in possesion of the football.
