EMYVALE
U21 Kerley Cup Final 2010.
Truagh 2 - 11 V 1 - 6 Emyvale
Two U21 finals were held on two successive nights, both in Emyvale and both games
were very similar. On Monday, Sept 13th Monaghan Harps secured a decisive victory
over Scotstown while on Tuesday, Sept 14th Truagh took control of their Division
2 final against neighbours Emyvale and finished very worthy winners.
Truagh began
the game in fine form and held sway in every sector for the first half going into
the break with a nine point advantage. They controlled the centre and there was a
constant supply of balls going in to their forwards putting extreme pressure on the
Emyvale defence. Meanwhile Emyvale had a number of chances which they squandered
with poor accuracy. However they tended to overplay the ball and on numerous occasions
ran themselves into problems and eventually lost the ball and control of the game.
At
the beginning of the second half there was a resurgence from Emyvale and things began
to work for them. This was brought about mainly by a few substitutions and some positional
changes. When Patrick McCarron netted it looked like a close finish was in store
but once again Truagh cancelled out any hopes of a recovery and with their excellent
long range points they finished much the stronger team. There were great efforts
from some of the Emyvale players but on the night too many were unable to perform
and live up to their potential.
Sean Murphy, representing the County Board and Seamus
McQuillan of McQuillan Staircases, the competition sponsor, presented the Kerley
Cup to the Truagh Captain, Gary Fealy.
