O’Rourke Cup Final – Match Report

Congratulations to our McGovern Civils Senior Men following their three-point Division 1 League Final victory over Western Gaels in Ballinameen on Sunday afternoon.

Boyle made the brighter start to the game, with Donie Smith (2) and Cian McKeon (a mark) ensuring a three-point lead after just five minutes. Western Gaels responded with a free. A minute later, Boyle looked to be in for a certain goal, however, Western Gaels prevented Donie Smith’s goal-bound shot from hitting the back of the net and sent the ball out for a 45. Cathal Feely’s resulting 45 gave Boyle a three-point advantage once more. A Western Gaels free was sandwiched between two Colin Goldrick points on 15 minutes. A point apiece from Niall Higgins and Luke Hester for Western Gaels caused some worry for Boyle before some vital defending by Killian Cox and Oisín Cregg dispossessed a Western Gaels attack. Cregg’s pass found Colin Goldrick, who was at his accurate best. Donie Smith (a free) and Dylan East rounded off the first scoring as Boyle held a three-point lead at half-time nine points to six.

Two Western Gaels frees early in the second half put the margin at one before Cian McKeon steadied the nerves of the large Boyle support with a well-taken free. Colin Goldrick raised the white flag once again before Oisín Cregg’s left footed strike split the uprights. Western Gaels kept plugging away with points from play and placed balls. On 57 minutes, Luke Glennon’s hanging shot was gathered by Killian Cox on the 21-yard line. Cox was fouled for a free which Donie Smith made no mistake in converting.

Western Gaels once again scored from play as the game entered five minutes of injury time. They looked to be in for a certain goal two minutes into the additional period, however Conor Flanagan judged the final pass to perfection to prevent it. Play continued, and Boyle launched an attack of their own with Colin Goldrick winning and scoring a mark. Western Gaels had their last score of the game on 63 minutes before Boyle’s Goldrick (from play) rounded off his and the afternoon’s scoring with a with a delicate effort from 30 metres to ensure a three-point victory.
