Seniors
Finally our IFL campaign got under way last Sunday against Donaghmoyne in Pairc Grattan.
Unfortunately the strong wind left playing conditions difficult however Inniskeen settled first with scores from Mixie Lennon, Donal Meegan and Robbie Lorenze.
Donaghmoyne Answered back with 2 points however Inniskeen, as you could expect playing with a very strong wind dominated the rest of the half scoring a further 7 points (Paul Meegan X 2, Donal X 2, Robbie, Mixie and Ronan Meegan) and kicking 8 wides.
As you can expect the second half was a different ball game as Donaghmoyne came out with all guns blazing scoring 2 points in quick succession.
However the lads dug deep and played a very smart short game with ball in hand on the back of some Aerial Domination by big Gerry McArdle.
Donaghmoyne were as guilty of wasting as many chances (9 wides) as we were in the first half. They only contributed a further 2 points.
We followed up with scores from Donal, Ronan and Shane Woods who came off the bench to make his IFL debut.
Unfortunately some of the Gloss was taken off the final result with the news that Shane was taken to hospital after suffering a serious Shoulder Injury.
We would like to give our best wishes to Shane and hope that he has a speedy recovery.
He is certainly a talent we can all be excited to see in the red and green in the future.
The game ended in a Scoreline of Inniskeen 0-13 to Donaghmoyne 0-06.
Good start to the campaign by beating a very strong Donaghmoyne outfit, next up Corduff on Wed 17th. By the time you are reading this hopefully we will have made it 2 wins out of 2.
Scorers: Donal Meegan 0-04, Paul Meegan 0-02, Ronan Meegan 0-02, Robbie Lorenze 0-02, Mixie Lennon 0-02 & Shane Woods 0-01.
