Senior League Semi-Final:  Doohamlet 0-08   Clontibret 0-09

In this thrilling League Semi-Final Doohamlet came oh! so close to victory over Clontibret on Thursday evening last losing by a single point scored in injury time.  With a League Final place at stake this game had everything and credit to both teams for serving up a fantastic game of football with no quarter asked or given in difficult conditions.  Doohamlet showed their intent from the first whistle and although massive underdogs going into this game raced into a three point to no score lead.  Clontibret settled thereafter and County star Conor McManus pointed five free kicks and one from play to give them a three point advantage.  Doohamlet then gained control at midfield and rallied to score two more points to leave the score Clontibret 0-06 Doohamlet 0-05 at half time.  With a constant heavy drizzle falling the second half was a titanic struggle as both sides tried to gain control but credit to Doohamlet who refused to bow to their more illustrious neighbours and attacked relentlessly.  With ten minutes remaining Clontibret led by only two points but with Doohamlets forwards running rampant Clontibrets defence could not contain wave after wave of attack.  Doohamlet duly equalized with the time almost up and the game was now certainly in the balance, extra time looked the most likely outcome.  Both sets of supporters were by this stage hoarse and begging for the breakthrough but Clontibret attacked down the left wing and Fergal Mone scored the all important winning score deep in injury time.  Credit to Doohamlet who fought gallantly to the end and Clontibret were mightily relieved when referee Darren Ward sounded the final whistle.

What can one say about this Doohamlet team?   They have trained from January with only a small panel to choose from and to not only keep their status in Senior ranks but to qualify for a League Semi –Final and more than match the County Champions.  Team manager Dessie McBennett and his backroom staff must be very proud.  James Casey was as reliable as ever in goal with his full back line of Martin Hughes, Gabie Casey and Shane Johnny Connolly tackling as if their lives depended on it.  Half backs Darren Connolly and Niall Jim Connolly attacked relentlessly and Kevin McArdle was a rock at centre half with his positional play and use of the ball.  Ollie Hughes and Ciaran McManus put in a fantastic hour in midfield and supplied excellent ball to our forwards.

The Doohamlet defence and midfield were outstanding but our forwards were magnificent.  Constantly changing position, interlinking with each other, the Clontibret defence just could not cope and must thank their goal keeper for saving at least two certain goals.  Senior players Gavin Duffy and Shane McManus led by example with Lorcan Duffy, Glen Comiskey, Colin Connolly and Paul McArdle all willing to support each other.  At left corner forward Doohamlet had the most elusive player on the night in Niall Johnny Connolly, he tormented his markers over the hour and when Colin Walshe was introduced the speed of thought and play from both was a joy to watch.  Doohamlet dressing room at the end of the game had a strange feeling.  Disappointed that the game was lost but all very proud of what this group of players had achieved.  To compete with and stand up to the challenge of the County Champions was magnificent.

Team manager congratulated each and every player and hoped this experience would benefit Doohamlet in the future.  Team Captain Shane McManus then stated that it was an honour to Captain this team and thanked manager Dessie, his selectors Eamon McBennett and Trevor Duffy and team trainer Ciaran Walshe and all the backroom staff.  All in all this has been a remarkable season and lets look forward to next.

 Team and Scorers:  James Casey, Martin Hughes, Gabie Casey, Shane Johnny Connolly, Niall Jim Connolly 0-01, Kevin McArdle, Darren Connolly, Ciaran McManus 0-01, Ollie Hughes, Gavin Duffy, Glen Comiskey 0-01, Paul McArdle 0-02, Lorcan Duffy, Shane McManus 0-02, Niall Johnny Connolly 0-01.  Subs:  Colin Connolly, Colin Walshe, Wayne Comiskey, Emmett McManus.
