Score?

Thereā€™s a bit of a chance we could be subjected to extra time.

You might not be wrong. The amount of handling errors is unraleā€¦ā€¦even allowing for the rain. Two very nervous teams.

A poor first half all things considered, very low-scoring. It is wet which definitely doesnā€™t help but backs from both sides on top. Garryspillane were definitely the better team in the first 15 but left scores behind them, including the only goal chance, a tame shot from Colin Ryan straight at Quilligan.

NCW are playing Mike Mac on the edge of the square but no one really supporting him which means itā€™s not really an option. They have very little to hit so they have to run everything and are making mistakes in the conditions.

Garryspillane have more options inside but because the NCW HB line is sitting deep, theyā€™re not able to hit them. John Whelan has cut out some amount of ball and they havenā€™t been able to get Flanagan or Teejeā€™s young fella into the game.

NCW will be delighted to be going in 2 up having played nowhere near the best.

My guess at scorers:

Eoin Hurley 0-2 (0-2 frees)
Ethan Hurley 0-1
Roundy Hurley 0-1
Con Hayes 0-1
Mike Quilligan 0-1

Hugh Flanagan 0-2 (0-2 frees)
Bryan Heavey 0-1
Colin Ryan 0-1

Any wind at play?

Hard to tell from my position, nothing too substantial I donā€™t think.

Whelan and Ethan Hurley are doing excellent sweeping. At the moment itā€™s a case of Newcastleā€™s backs are better than Bouncers.

I dont want to speak too soon but it looos like the townies have woken up.

Goal Diarmuid Kelly. Mistake from GK & CB.

Brutal from Garry corner back there. Kelly took the chance well.

Dylan Oā€™Shea had scored a great sideline from out the field before it.

In a low-scoring game, you imagine thatā€™ll be crucial.

NCW 1-9 Garryspillane 0-7

46 mins.

Hickey, who is a monster in the air, only on a matter of seconds before he catches clean at FF but cant get the shot away. Goal chance.

The younger Hayes is on for Mike Mac too, a lively player.

Goal Eoin Hurley, sublime touch.& pass from Nix to create it.

Iā€™m hearing a big name missing for us today :cry:

Garry defence parts like the Red Sea. Adam Sheehan makes a decent effort of stopping Eoin Hurleyā€™s thunderbolt but it creeps over the line. Followed by a Bryan Nix point.
