Thomas Davis Corrinshego 0-8 St. Michael’s Killean 1-5
Corrinshego got their league campaign off to a start with a battling draw against near neighbours and rivals St. Michael’s Killean. After the heavy rain the previous evening, both the Craobh Rua and Killean pitches were deemed unplayable, resulting in the match being played in the unusual surroundings of St. Colman’s College. This was probably the first time that an Armagh fixture took place in the famed Newry school, even though it’s in Armagh!
Playing against a very strong wind the Corrinshego defence of Mark McAteer, John NcIllroy and R. McLoughlin worked hard to limit the Killean attacks, resulting in the game being scoreless until the 13minute when Killean opened their account from a 21m free. On 17minutes Killean doubled their account, to leave 0-2 between the sides. On 20 minutes a great run by Paul Heatley resulted in him being fouled, however the resulting free hit the post and went wide. With an increased effort in midfield from David Lenaghan and R. McWilliam resulted in a fine point from James Dinsmore after been set up by D. Lenaghan. Corrinsheho were now on top, even playing against the wind and on 24minutes Cathal Trainor saw a shot hit the post when it seemed certain that it was a score. Two minutes before half-time Killean responded with a point to leave it 0-3 to 0-1 in their favour at the break.
On the resumption Ryan O’ Reilly replaced Adrian McCourt in the forwards and scored an inspirational score 30seconds into the break. Corrinshego were now competley on top but unfortunately were shooting a number of wides. On 38 minutes David Murphy, making his debut after his transfer from Mullaban Cullchluainn’s scored a great point from out on the right. The momentum was with the men in maroon and white and Cathal Trainor 0-1 and D. Lenaghna on 43 minutes with a point left the scores 0-5 to 0-3 in favour of Corrinshego. A goal chance by Ryan O’Reilly on 42 minutes went narrowly wide but a minute later Ryan scored a point from a free after D. Murphy was fouled. This was our last score until the 60th minute. In the intervening period Killean responded with a point and then a killer of a goal which came in off the post to give Killean a 1-5 to 0-7 lead. Thomas Davis kept plugging a way, unfortunately shooting many wides until Paul Heatley scored a great equaliser to leave the score 0-8 to 1-5. Moment later referee Joe Murtagh blew the final whistle. The final whistle resembled a defeat rather than a draw, which shows how far as a club we have come in that only a victory was of paramount importance. The game saw both David Murphy and Conor Loye make their Senior League debuts and Paddy Smyth also played after a long absence. Worringly Corrinshego shot 17 wides over the sixty minutes. Next week we are away to Killeavey.
