COALISLAND 1 - 10 0 - 09 LOUGHMACRORY
Reserves second half revival falls short
The reserves had a useful pre-season challenge against Coalisland in Sunday before the Ulster league game.
Patrick McCullagh opened the scoring with a point for Loughmacrory but Richard Thornton replied in kind right away and the island m en had gone 1 - 03 to a point up before Ryan Keenan fed Paul Donnelly for Loughmacrory’s second minor after 20 minutes Brian Donaghy and Paul Donnelly brought Loughmacrory’s tally to but the home team still led by that goal at the break.
Noel Kelly opened the second half scoring coming all the way up from the full back position to split the posts and further minors from Joseph McCracken and Daniel Fox kept the visitors in touch. Patrick McCullagh hooked over a good score with his left boot but one more minor from Connal Kelly was all Loughmacrory could muster in the final ten minutes as the Fianna increased their tally to 1 - 10.
