Tinryland G.F.C. Club Notes 12th May 2024
Our senior team were defeated by Palatine in round 7 of the S.F.L. division 1 and Andy Murphy shield final in an entertaining game at Rathcrogue on Sunday evening. Tinryland looked dead and buried at one stage in this game but staged a wonderful second half rally to draw level entering the final quarter. Palatine showed their experience by weathering the storm to run out winners on a scoreline of 1-18 to 1-13. Outstanding for Tinryland were Shane Redmond, Maurice Lawler, Paddy Regan, Michael Hosey, Conor Ryan and Cian McGuire. After the game the Andy Murphy shield was presented by Mick and John Murphy to Palatine captain Finbarr Kavanagh with the man of the match award going to Josh Egan from the winning team.
At underage level our minor team defeated Fenagh in the spring league on Monday last.
Our Feile team had mixed luck in their 3 games on Thursday and Friday last. In the opening Feile game at Rathcrogue on Thursday last Tinryland came up against a strong Bagenalstown Gaels team who won on a scoreline of 2-10 to 1-3. In the 2nd game on Friday evening in McGrath Park Tinryland had an easy victory over Clonmore on a score of 5-7 to 0-4 while in the 3rd game against Asca also in McGrath Park the Carlow town team triumphed on a score of 1-4 to 1-3 in a game that was in the melting pot right up to the final whistle.
