Nenagh Celtic 'A' 4 - Rearcross 'A' 2

A depleted Rearcross 'A' were the visitors to Nenagh VEC on Sunday morning for this Premier Division League encounter against Nenagh Celtic 'A' and lost out on a four goals to two score line. Rearcross playing with wind advantage in the opening half created the early chances and came close with a Nigel Ryan effort in the 10th minute. Rearcross continued to push forward and Nigel Ryan found space to shoot six minutes later, however John O'Brien in the Nenagh Celtic goal got down to save. The underfoot conditions were making the going tough, however the home side came more in to the game as the half progressed and opened the scoring on the half hour mark when a fine move saw the ball delivered from the right before David Walsh got up to head to the back of the net with precision. Rearcross were rattled four minutes later when Ronan Herhily made it two nil for Nenagh Celtic. Rearcross rallied and pulled a goal back when Nigel Ryan converted from the spot on the stroke of half time.
Nenagh Celtic made the early running in the second half and added two quick fire goals through Arthur Mitchell and a second from Ronan Herhily, however credit to a Rearcross side who didn't throw in the towel and PJ McLoughlin reduced the deficit with fifteen minutes when his delivery from out on the right finished in the net, Rearcross tried hard to get back on par, however Nenagh Celtic had done enough on the day to secure the points.
Thanks very much to Rearcross 'B' keeper Jim Caplis who turned out for Rearcross 'A' ahead of the Rearcross 'B' v Cloughjordan 'B' clash on Sunday afternoon.
