U6/U8/U10- Blitz this Saturday (8th June) Thomas MacCurtains, Goodmayes.
Thomas McCurtains
Last Tuesday the Footballers played Fulham Irish in the first round of the League. The East London lads started the game brighter and looked the better team in the first half.
A Johnny Rafferty goal 5 minutes from half time left them up by a goal, 1-05 to 0-05 at the break but it could have been more.
McCurtains started the second half in the same fashion as they finished the first, with a goal, this time from Conor Murphy, to leave them 5 points to the good after an early Fulham Irish point.
That was as good as it would get as Fulham found their shooting boots and showed their experience as they outscored the Macs by 8 points to 1 for the rest of the half.
Our Reserve Footballers had a great win against North London Shamrocks on Saturday afternoon. The lads were well in control of this game right from the off thanks to a great opening goal from Sean Murphy inside two minutes.
Harry Corkerry lead by example from the front with two superb points, while the tireless running of Dean Corrigan in midfield and heroic defending in full back from veteran Martin Geraghty made sure the result was never in doubt.
On Sunday the Camogs played the Intermediate League Final against John Mitchells in a sunny Goodmayes.
The match started at ferocious speed to match the heat of the day with neither side giving any quarter. Both teams were defending well and it took almost 10 minutes before John Mitchells broke the deadlock with a well taken point.
It was nip and tuck for the rest of the half with no more than a puck of the ball separating the sides before John Mitchells scored the games opening goal on the stroke of half time leaving the half time score McCurtains 0-01; Mitchells 1-04.
The deciding moments of the game came just after half time as Mitchells broke through the McCurtains defence to score two early goals and leave McCurtains with a mountain to climb.
The East London girls never gave up and battled back scoring a goal of their own thanks to Vera Loughnane. However, it wasn’t to be as Mitchells scored another two goals to see out the game.
They next turn their attention to Championship action with their first game against Taras next weekend.
