Cloughjordan 'A' 3 - Rearcross 'A' 1

 

A lethargic display by Rearcross 'A' last Sunday resulted in a 3-1 defeat to Cloughjordan 'A' in a league fixture played in blustery conditions at the Cloughjordan venue. Rearcross playing against a strong wind in the first half enjoyed dominant spells early on, however it was the home side that went ahead when Michael Walsh shot to the roof of the net from the edge of the eighteen yard box in the 19th minute. Paul Murphy levelled for Rearcross when he scored an opportunist goal from way out on the right seven minutes later. Rearcross went behind for the second time in the 38th minute when Peter Hennelly made space on the left and crossed to Seamus Williams who made no mistake from the edge of the six yard box. Wind advantage in the second half was to be of no benefit to Rearcross for the second week running as it was the home side who were the most threatening and took a 3-1 in lead midway through the half when Peter Hennelly scored from in front of goal after a missed penalty wasn't properly cleared. Rearcross were a spent force at this stage as Cloughjordan ran out easy winners.
