CITY DIVISION U21 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

Passage  0—10    St Nicholas 0--9pt                                               

BURKE WINS IT FOR PASSAGE

A point by right half forward Shane Burke on 59 minutes was enough to give Passage victory over St Nicholas in the City Division Under 21 football Championship played at a sunny Ballinlough last Sunday morning.

Passage, having lost the final to the Barrs last year, were determined  to go one better this year and they got off to the ideal start with a well taken point from Darragh Murphy inside three minutes. Three minutes later Shane Burke increased their lead, another point followed from Daragh Murphy who at this stage was giving the Nicks backs lots of problems.

With Passage well on top in the middle through Kealan O’Flynn and man of the match Jack Somers, the Harbor team threatened to run away with the game.

Nicks regrouped with Glenn Kenneck opening their account with a fine point from play on 17 minutes. But points from Burke and Murphy had Passage in front 6—1 coming up to the break. Again Nicks gave themselves hope with two points from Adam Lynch and Liam Coughlan to let the score 7—3 at the interval.

Nicks came out with a much different attitude in the second half as they took the game to Passage. Liam Coughlan slotted over a free after 36 minutes, while David Dunlea made it a two point game on 40 minutes. 7pts to 5pts.

Passage responded with a Ryan Carroll point, before Coughlan made it 8—6. Nicks sensing the game was there to be won had the sides level  on 24 minutes, points from Lynch and Sean Horgan doing the damage.

As the time counted down  the game swung from end to end, the Passage keeper Anthony Kidney made a good save before Ryan Carroll edged the harbor side in front at the other end with a well taken point.

Nicks were not giving up and once again Lynch put over a great point to level with three minutes remaining. Then in a welter of excitement Shane Burke put over the final point to give Passage a narrow lead once again with time running out. Nicks had a late opportunity to bring it to extra time but Anthony Kidney brought off a good save under pressure to make sure the Cup went to Passage.

Passage were well served by midfielders Jack Somers and Kealan O’Flynn, while Darragh Murphy and Shane Burke always dangerous up front.

St Nicks had good defenders in McCarthy, Coade and David Dooling while liam Coughlan and Adam Lynch played well up front.
