B League Division 3 – Round 8

Skryne and Castletown served up an excellent game of football in Skryne this evening in this B League Div 3 match. In ideal conditions both teams although short some regulars played football as it should be played with no quarter asked or given throughout.

Castletown began better than Skryne and led by six points to one after fourteen minutes. A well worked Skryne goal from the boot of Sean Cassidy and a point from Kevin O’Reilly left the minimum between the sides and it was nip and tuck from there to the end. Castletown seemed to gain the upper hand again with a goal just before half time to lead at the break by 1-7 to 1-2.

But it was Skryne who scored the first three points of the second half to open up the game once more. With ten minutes to go Skryne went in front for the first time with a point from John Quinn but Castletown fought hard right to the end to edge back in front. Despite Kevin O’Reilly adding a pointed free for the Blues, the Green and Gold men had two frees of their own and a perfect long range point to hold on in an exciting finish.

Well done to both teams for showing there is nothing wrong with B League football when it is played in the right spirit as this game was.
