The two semi finals were played in excruciating heat this evening in Ashgrove with The Rose of Mooncoin and The Auld Rogue from Carrick playing out the first one. Little between them in the first half and it always looked like the first goal would be crucial. The Auld Rogue were the team to break the deadlock and tagged on their second with time just up.
The second game was a repeat of last years final with Doyle’s and Maisie’s going at it. Again little between the two in the first half but the second half showed why Maisie’s are favourites for the competition as Mick Cummins team notched two goals in the last 10 minutes to secure their place in the final.
Disappointment for both local teams but the better teams won out on the night.
The final Saturday evening should be a cracker as The Auld Rogue from Carrick will be looking to clinch their first Pubs league title while Mick Cummins has Maisie’s back in the final hoping to go one better this year. Kick off is 7.15 and we can more or less guarantee good weather for it. See ye all Saturday evening.
