Aghaderg 1-18 St Michaels 0-8
Aghaderg Senior Footballers were in vibrant scoring form in their opening game against visiting St Michaels as they cantered to an impressive 13-point victory.
The Reds set their stall out straight from the throw-in and with some exciting and incisive combination play they set up their shooters for an emphatic first half tally that effectively put the game out of St Michael’s reach. Chris and Aaron McAvoy, Michael Fitzpatrick, Cathal Matthews and Niall Lennon all had their shooting boots on as they picked off some impressive scores from play and they led at the interval by 0-13 to 0-3.
St Michaels started the second half well but a precise goal from Aaron McAvoy ended any hopes of a comeback and the Reds coasted to a morale-boosting victory.
Injuries to Chris Lennon and Aidan McLean dampened the spirits somewhat, and we all wish them a speedy recovery.
Scorers:
Chris McAvoy 0-8, Aaron McAvoy 1-2, Cathal Matthews 0-3, Michael Fitzpatrick 0-2, Niall Lennon 0-2, Conor McGivern 0-1.
Aghaderg would like to thank St Michael's physio, Declan O'Donnell, for his assistance tonight with the injuries to our players.
