Match Report – Saturday 04/02/201 7.00 PM – Tailteann Cup Round 1
Result – St Vincent’s GFC 0-10: Cortown GFC: 0-7:
St. Vincent’s GFC Ardcath displayed a good team performance in their first game of the season and their first game of 2017 on their new pitch under lights.
St. Vincent’s made a good start and appeared the fitter of the two teams on what was a cold spring evening. Cortown showed their physical presence throughout the game and were not afraid to tackle from the first whistle.
St. Vincent’s were more accurate on the night and maintained a lead right through the game. Ritchie O Sullivan slotted over four points from free kicks and another from play and was leading scorer for St Vincent’s. Five more points came from play with Paddy Arnold, Cathal Regan, Martin Fox, John Corry and Robbie Lynch all on target which demonstrates a solid team performance which helped in achieving a positive outcome.
The game was a good test and will stand to players next time out. The match was well attended with the car park full for the first official game on the new pitch at Masterson Park. The team now progress to the quarterfinals of the Tailteann Cup.
