Good start in Senior Championship

Longford Slashers 3-16 Fr. Manning Gael's 1-05

Slashers started their championship campaign in fine fashion with a comprehensive victory over Fr. Manning Gaels.  Slashers dominated the game from start to finish and a fisted goal from Padraig Davis was the only high point for a disappointing Drumlish outfit.  Slashers were leading by 0-7 to 0-3 at this stage and raised their game again by scoring two points and a goal before half time to have a comfortable 1-09 to 1-03 lead at half time.  All Slashers scores came from play and things could have been better as the outstanding Paul Kelly had two great goal chances – one was well saved by the keeper and he pulled the other wide of the post.            

Fr. Manning Gaels started the second half with two points but after that it was all Slashers and we continued on from the first half chalking up 2-07 in the second half.  Again all these scores came from play except the last point  which was from a free – it was unusual that we only received one free inside the opponents fifty during the entire game.

This was a complete performance with full back, Barry Gilleran and full forward, Stephen Phillips outstanding.  Stephen scored 2-06, all but one point from play.  Dermot Brady was at his best and Paul Kelly created havoc each time he received the ball.

Team: G. Hourican, T. O’Rourke, B. Gilleran, G. Ghee, D. Brady (0-1), P. Brady, C. Barnes, M. Brady, D. Sheridan (0-1), R. Kennedy (1-1),  N. Mulligan, C. Smith (0-2), T. Glendenning (0-2), S. Phillips (2-6), P. Kelly (0-1). Subs used: D. McRory (0-1), M. Tarmey, W. Murray (0-1), I. Shannon.

Don’t forget the Niall Mellon Township Trust Fundraiser which is happening next Friday night.  Club member, Gerry Meeneghan, is travelling to South Africa next March to participate in this important venture.  This is a charity that is making a real difference on the ground where it counts.  To raise funds Gerry is holding a race night in the Longford Greyhound Stadium on Friday night 12th Sept.  The first race is starting at 8pm.  All our members and friends are asked to support Gerry. Tickets for the night can be bought at €10, dogs can be sponsored for €25 and a race can be sponsored for €100.  All other donations would be gratefully accepted.  Please contact any of the organising committee of Gerry Meeneghan, Liam Eivers, Billy McDermott, Michael O’Brien or Pat Chapman.
