Footballers off to a winning
start
Passage West footballers got their league campaigns off to a winning start with
both the A and B sides recording victories on Sunday morning. These were great
results considering both sides were making a return to a higher grade. These
wins come on the back of another win during the week when Passage defeated
Muskerry side Cloughduv in a challenge game.
Junior A Football League
Passage West 2-7
Bishopstown 0-5
This game was played in Bishopstown on Sunday morning, 10 February 2008.
Conditions were good, the field needed to be cut in patches but otherwise in
good condition.
Passage played against the hill and slight wind in the first half and seemed a
little nervous in their return to the A grade. Bishopstown settled much more
quickly and were first to score a point. This score seemed to awaken Passage
from their slumber and they took over in midfield with Cian McCarthy and Alan
Keane lording it over their much taller opponents and Passage forwards had a
constant supply of ball.
John O'Byrne opened the scoring for Passage with a point that was soon followed
by another from Seamus Forde. Bishopstown made a rare incursion into Passage
territory and scored a point to gave a wrong slant to the score as Passage were
much on top, however in the next attack Passage scored a goal through John
O'Byrne and after this never looked back.
A point from a Cian McCarthy free and another from Seamus Forde gave Passage a
1-4 to 0-3 half time lead. With words from coach Tomas Farrell ringing in their
ears Passage began the second half in blistering fashion and scored two points
in quick succession from Seamus Forde and John O'Byrne.
Passage then set about playing a brand of football which we have not seen for a
while from a Passage team and in a passing movement started by Daniel Howard on
his own half back line Passage moved the ball up field and James O'Connor with a
deft flick over his marker's head in to the on rushing Seamus Forde who billowed
the roof of the net for a second goal and thus gave Passage the cushion they
needed.
Seamus Forde then kicked a beauty of a point from 40 yards to give Passage a
lead of 10 points and with only a few minutes remaining Bishopstown scored two
points from frees. James O'Connor then finished the scoring for Passage with a
point.
Thus ended Passage's first game on their return to A grade football with a well
deserved victory. Passage were well served by James Kelly, Paddy Maher in the
back line Alan Keane and Cian McCarthy controlled mid field while John O'Byrne
and Seamus Forde were the pick of the forwards.
Junior B Football League
Passage West 0-6
Lough Rovers 0-3
After winning the championship last year the Passage B footballers were anxious
to get their league campaign off to a winning start, which they did on Sunday
morning against Lough Rovers.
In a low scoring game, Passage were unlucky to have what seemed like a perfectly
good first half goal ruled out for a square ball.
Despite this setback the side played well to keep ahead and showed good
discipline during some scrappy periods of play. The best of the football was
played with the first half and great play on the wings from Billy Cotter and
Dave O'Connell gave a lot of options for the forwards. Midway through the first
half Billy Cotter sent a high ball from the left wing into the goal area and an
in rushing Michael Costin out fielded the Lough Rovers keeper to fist the ball
into the net. However to the surprise of both the Passage and Lough Rovers
players the goal was ruled out with the referee judging the player to be
standing in the square when the ball was kicked.
Despite the setback Passage carried on and took a five points to two lead going
into half time. The word from coach Keith Maxwell at half time was to keep our
discipline and not to give away any frees, especially close to goal.
In the second half Lough Rovers tried their best to reduce the deficit but good
play by the Passage backs and the fact that they had a man sent off for a second
yellow card meant they could only reduce the deficit to two pints and Passage
eventually got one back.
For the final three minutes Lough Rovers were awarded three 45s in a row, as
they tried to score an equalising goal but once the ball was cleared, the final
whistle was sounded.
Scorers for Passage were Pa Coakley with three points (two from frees) and Dave
O'Connell with three from play.
