County Football League Div 2

After the match between Kilcoole and Ashford which ended in a draw 1-11 to 2-8, Shane Marah was heard to say that this game was better than 22 episodes of Coronation Street. How right he was 22 scores, 18 wides and plenty of goalmouth action. Ashford had reduced the arrears to one point by half time 1-5 to 1-4. Ashford were forced to field without Niall Mooney and Jay Taylor, before the start both Conor Behan an Joey Doyle failed late a fitness test. However Ashford gave a creditable performance having given the home team a 1-3 start. Aaron Nugent was top scorer with 6 points and also a strong contender for Man of the Match. The goals came from Tim Nairn and Dean Mooney while the other points were scored by Philip Doyle and Gavin Weir. Will Hender Phillips had a sound game in goal, Wes Manning, Ken O’Brien and Brian Fagan were solid in defence. Iarla O’Donnell in the half back line is improving with each game. Along with Aaron Nugent, both Gavin Weir and Philip Doyle were never found wanting.

Ashford Team: Will Hender Phillips, Brian Fagan, Wes Manning, Ken O’Brien, Iarla O’Donnell, Billy Clarkson, Conor Dowling, David Nolan, Mick Taylor, Tim Nairn (1-0), Philip Doyle (0-1), Dean Mooney (1-0), Aaron Nugent (0-6), Paddy Shannon, Gavin Weir (0-1). Sub, David Dowling.

Footnote: The referee Pat Dunne who had a very good game exercised his power on many occasions when he was challenged on awarding a free kick. He would move the ball forward at least 10 meters, both teams were guilty and both teams benefited.
