Clonguish celebrate their U-21 'A' Football Championship title triumph with some young supporters at Glennon Brithers Pearse Park Photo: Syl Healy
Building on a strong start which propelled them into a commanding 0-6 to 0-0 lead, there was no stopping rampant Clonguish who completed a fantastic four-in-a-row in the U-21 ‘A’ Football Championship.
Clonguish . . . 5-24 Ballymahon/Forgney/Kenagh . . . 0-6
Things gradually went from bad to worse for the outclassed amalgamation in the county title decider at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday last and it was all over as a contest at the break with the dominant boys in green cruising into a commanding 1-13 to 0-5 lead.
The impressive Daniel Carey got the vital touch to flick the ball to the net in the 17th minute and this was a killer blow for Ballymahon/Forgney/Kenagh who sorely missed key attacker, the injured Josh Kelly who was unable to feature in the final.
With the man of the match award winner Matthew Carey leading the charge in a lethal attack, Clonguish (managed by Derek Duggan) ran out very easy winners in the finish in adding another 4-11 to their most emphatic tally.
County senior regular Carey (a cracking strike), Michael Flynn, Jamie Dorr and James Hagan accounted for the Clonguish goals in the second half landslide.
CLONGUISH: James Quinn; Alan Mimnagh, Conor Flynn, Cathal Lynch; Ross Shields, Andrew Flynn (0-1), Mark Cooney; Jonathan Burke (0-1), Matthew Carey (1-2); Jamie Dorr (1-2, two-pointer play), Matthew Flynn (0-2), Daniel Carey (1-4); Cormac Flynn (0-1), Michael Flynn (1-5, 3 frees), James Hagan (1-4).
