ACFL Div. 1 - Kickhams Vs St. Johns

ACFL Div. 1
02 May 2009

St. Johns 2-10
Kickhams Creggan 1-07
 
Played in excellent conditions St Johns enjoyed their first league win of the season.  They started very brightly and with a very lively full forward line took a 2 point lead after 5 minutes of play.  Creggan after coming to terms with St Johns early pace settled and started building some nice movements of play resulting in scores from Leigh Martin and Dermot McCann.  St Johns finished the half stronger and with accurate free taking and some long range efforts found themselves 3 up at the break.

HALF TIME SCORE - 0-08 to 0-05.
 
Second half and with St Johns playing into the scoring end started again the brighter side and scored an early free and penalty to leave 7 points in the game with 25 minutes remaining.  A leg injury to Leigh Martin and Tony close meant we had to make changes and the threat of a comeback looked unlikely.  We continued to attack but St Johns got back in numbers and defended very well. Against the run of play St Johns got another goal, this time a fine effort from 13 yeards into the top corner with Peter Graham unlucky as he dived well and got finger tips onto it. Two frees from Peter McCollum and a well placed penalty by Mark Anthony after good work by Oliver Duffin finished the scoring.
