Big Win For Skryne’s 3rd Team

Cortown 1-06, Skryne 3-15

B League Division 3 – Round 2

Skryne’s 3rd team made it two wins from two in this B League Div 3 match played in Skryne having been switched from Cortown again due to pitch conditions. Although some of the players had played three games in three days they showed no ill effects and ran out easy winners despite the team struggling in the first half.

This team is made up of the older players of the club supplemented by the much younger generation and the mix certainly worked for these lads especially in the second half.

The teams were evenly matched in the first period and it took a late goal from Jason Fox to give Skryne a fortuitous lead at half time 1-6 to 1-3. That goal set the tone for the rest of the game as the Blues took advantage of the breeze playing away from the Road end in the second half. They outscored their opponents by 2-9 to 0-3 in a one sided display for the rest of the game.

This was another excellent team performance in which everybody played their part so it would be unfair to single out anyone for special mention.

As it capped a good weekend for the Club hopefully it can continue positively and increase competition for places on all teams.
