A rousing second half performance of grit and determination saw Drumcullen edge this first round fixture by the narrowest of margins to gain two valuable points. Played in dreadful underfoot conditions at Kilcormac following heavy rain, the first half performance suggested only one winner. Favourites, Ballinamere made all the running and after an even first quarter which saw the teams level at 0-6 each they eased away to lead 0-11 to 0-7 at the break and looked to be in control in most areas. Defiance, mainly in defence and especially Podge and Ciaran Guinan kept the margin to manageable proportions but such was Ballinamere’s dominance it was difficult to see a recovery.
On the restart, Drumcullen were inspired and holding their opponents scoreless for eighteen minutes established a three point advantage. Their tenacity and work-rate throughout the field was a joy and although there were some anxious moments in the closing stages, the win was richly deserved. Paddy Kirwan and his management team deserve great credit for some astute positional changes and it would have been interesting to hear the half-time dressing room address to the players!
Again, Conor Gath was unerring from frees from some difficult positions but he had great support from many quarters in that second half. The introduction of Thomas Leahy at the break brought a new energy which seemed to rub off on those around him. Working from a small panel, it will be a challenging year but Monday’s result is a great start. Team: E. Gath, B.O’Meara , D. Guinan, D. Maher(Capt.), C. Guinan, P. Guinan, D. Gath, J. Cashin, R. Gath (0-4), Conor Gath (0-9, 8F), H. Ryan, P. Cashin, S. Hanrahan, Colm Gath(0-2), J. Murray (0-1). Subs used T. Leahy and C. Guilfoyle.
