First game of the season saw us travel to near neighbours Piltown. We got off to worst possible start as we conceded after a few minutes. Within 15 minutes Piltown were down to 10 men after a foul on Finbarr Purcell. The lads & lassie dug in and we equalised after a fantastic run by Robbie Doherty who squared the ball to Jamie Croke to level. Not having a competitive game since March definitely led to us conceding almost straight away as a long ball caused us problems. Ht 2-1 down.
Second half saw us take the game by the scruff of the neck with Aidan Carroll and Robbie Doherty running the show from the middle of the park. Another fantastic run to the by line by Robbie Doherty led to a carbon copy of our first goal as Jamie Croke blasted home. Level with 10 mins left and up stepped Aidan Carroll who let fly from 25 yards out to score the winner.
A good run out that helped shake off the cobwebs. Dungarvan await in 2 weeks.
Man of the match : Robbie Doherty
