IFC v St Mary’s
All roads lead to Milltown next Sunday, August 25 for our penultimate IFC Section B against St Mary’s, Rochfortbridge at 3.30pm.
With Kilbeggan on five points and St Mary’s on four points, this is effectively a preliminary quarter-final. The winner will almost certainly be guaranteed a quarter-final spot and promotion to Section A for 2025. Our final group match will be against Multyfarnham, who currently lead the way with three wins from three.
Best of luck to the lads.
JFC B v Tang
Our second team made it two wins from three in the JFC B in a high-scoring encounter away to Tang last Tuesday evening.
For many of the players, management and supporters, it was a second trip to the Longford-border club in three days, having also hosted our drawn IFC Round 3 clash with Ballymore the previous Saturday. In an incredibly open game, goals from James Finnegan (three) and Danny Scully (two) along with points from Mark Wrafter, Darragh Coffey, Mel Kiernan and Colin Draper eased us into a 5-6 to 1-5 half-time lead.
Finnegan brought his tally to 4-1 in the second half before being replaced, Padraig Carton raised another green flag, while Wrafter, Coffey, Draper and Joey O’Neill also split the posts in a 7-15 to 3-14 victory. Another win in our last group game against St Malachy’s will qualify us for the knockout stages.
Team: Joey O’Neill; Martin Ward, Alan Fennell, Kyle McMahon; Colin Draper, Josh Malone, Arthur O’Rourke; Darragh Coffey, Mark Wrafter; Danny Scully, Padraig Carton, Mel Kiernan; James Finnegan, Colm Heffernan, Mark Sonner. Subs: Niall Rabbitte, Shane Gorry and Finbar Coffey.
