Junior ‘A’
In the final group game of the ‘A’ championship, we lost 1-24 to 3-16 against Nenagh in Puckane. We trailed 1-14 to 1-10 at the break. Michael Hennelly had scored the goal in the 16th minute with the a “ Rarely Spotted” ground ball. Johnny Naughnane was forced to depart the scene in the fifth minute with an ankle injury. In the twelfth minute, Conor Doheny’s goal was disallowed for a square ball infringement – I have seen them given.
Four minutes into the second half, Nenagh opened up an eight-point gap and looked as if they would go out of sight. MacDonaghs kept nibbling away at the lead and goals from Kevin Naughnane (41st minute penalty) and Eoin Caroll (54th minute) set up a grandstand finish. Deep into injury time, Kilruane attacked in search of a fourth green flag, but Nenagh hung on for a two-point victory.
