Scoil Oilibhear Naofa Boys GAA team win the Fingal Senior cup

cup Champs cup

They done it!, against the odds in Parnell Park yesterday afternoon after a very tense and close game against St Benedicts of Ongar. Scoil Oilibhear Naofa Boys GAA team won the Fingal Senior cup. After a very shaky start when St Benedicts scored 2 goals with no response in the first 3 minutes, it was looking very bad. St Benedicts were a big team and had excellent fielders and seemed to be able to sweep down field at will, but St Oliver’s persevered and scored 1 goal and three points to level the match. St Benedicts then scored 2 goals and a point before the break but with three minutes left before half time St Oliver’s responded with 2 goals and a point to level the game at half time.

With the wind at their backs in the second half, Albeit smaller in stature, the mobility and speed of the Balrothery team came to the fore and 4 quick goals and a point shocked the opposition who then chasing the game left their backline exposed. The Balrothery team took full advantage of the extra space and tagged on an additional 2 goals and 5 points.

The last 5 minutes were very nervy as the Balrothery backs tired under the pressure, but great work by Jamie Grassi in goal saw out the threat and Balrothery went on to win final score 9-10 to 8-3 to secure a famous victory.

Brilliant performances from Ross Staunton, Eoin Hand, Stephen Sharpy, Tom Downes, Daniel Hughes, Fiachra Cassin, Cormac O Beirne and Connor Mc Kenna to name a few.
