Skryne 0-14 Seneschalstown 1-09

Skryne made the short journey to Ratoath a successful one as they overcame Seneschalstown in the second round of the Meath SFC. In cold but dry and sunny conditions the first fifteen minutes of this game were of the poor football standard. Neither side could get on top and it was not until the 13th minute that Seneschalstown posted the first score of the match – a point from Joe Sheridan. The match overall was a tame affair and the first half was noted for the Furze men kicking nine wides to Skryne’s two thus helping the Blues to a five points to three interval lead.

This second half was a lot more physical resulting in Seneschalstown being reduced to 14 men after about 15 minutes when Robert Reddy received a second yellow card. This seemed to spur on Seneschalstown more so than Skryne and when Brian Sheridan slotted home the only goal of the game to add to three superb long range pointed frees by the substitute the game seemed to be heading for a very exciting finish. While it was close Skryne weathered the storm and ran out uneasy winners by 2 points.

Skryne had excellent displays from the Lenehan brothers, Ronan McCabe and Adam O’Sullivan, in defence, Donie Ryan at midfield while upfront Paddy Fox stood out along with the usual chief scorers. Harry Rooney made a very welcome return after injury to steady the ship in the last ten minutes.
