In the final group game of the County League we drew with Borris-Ileigh in MacDonagh Park. Score: MacDonaghs 0-24 Borris-Ileigh 1-21. MacDonaghs made a lightning start to this game, hitting three points in succession. The visitors replied with three points on the trot to leave the sides level after five minutes. A fortuitous Borris-Ileigh goal in the 15th minute propelled them into a four-point lead and at the break the scoreboard was 1-12 to 0-12 in their favour.
In the second half MacDonaghs began to shade possession and in the 45th minute a point from Conor Cleary left the sides level. A minnute later Jerome Cahill, now operating at full-forward, fielded the sliotar and fired to the net. The umpire appeared to be reaching for the green flag but following an intervention by the referee the goal was disallowed for a square ball. MacDonaghs shrugged off this setback and with just three minutes of normal time left had edged two points ahead. Unfortunately, we failed to see out the final minutes and two injury-time points from Borris-Ileigh earned them a draw.
However, a victory was necessary for MacDonaghs to claim a semi-final spot so attention now switches to the North championship which is scheduled to commence on the weekend of 25th /26th June.
