IFC - Group C - Round 2

Ballinlough 2 09
Bective 1 11

Ballinlough got their first 2 points in this years Championship in Carlanstown with a convincing win over favourites Bective . Indeed it only took Bective 5 minutes to put the ball in the Ballinlough net but 2 minutes later Mark McCullen punched in a high ball from his brother Tommy to score Ballinlough ‘s first goal .
Bective were confined to 3 pointed frees for the rest of the half while Ballinlough had 5 more scorers, with 2 points from both Peader Byrne and Michael Geraghty and points from Sean Geraghty , Benjy Smith Lorcan Maguire .

The second half started even better when Man of the Match Benjy Smith had the ball in the Bective net in just 3 minutes. The goal seemed to spur on Bective and they piled on the pressure scoring 8 points . A point from Benjy Smith in the 50 th minute sent shockwaves thru the crowd as an upset looked on but it must have blown the lights also as the pitch was plunged into Darkness .
Play resumed after a short break and Ballinlough used all their experience gained at Senior level to close out the game. While a black card was issued to a player from both sides the game was played in the right spirit on a dry night in front of an an enthusiastic crowd .
Full marks as ever to the hosts St Michael ‘s for having the pitch in such good order after a very long winter .

Ballinlough were well served by Derek Muldoon , Mathew Farrell , Gary Reilly and Johnny Reilly .
