Moneygall 'A' 1 - Rearcross 'A' 1

“The only thing that makes life unfair is the delusion that it should be fair.” Steve Maraboli

Rearcross travelled to Moneygall on Sunday last and came away with an important point in a well contested game played in brisk conditions. Rearcross started the game well and were making considerable inroads in midfield and indeed up front with club (and disco) legend Diarmuid Sheehy, sent to the front line in place of the absent Derek O’ Toole, making a nuisance of himself both in the air and on the ground. Although Rearcross had a few half chances in the first twenty minutes with Simon Kennedy, Liam O’ Toole and Kieran Devitt all coming close, the game seemed to level out after this with Moneygall beginning to get a foothold on proceedings. With the game level at half time Rearcross went for the juggler after the break and were duly awarded ten minutes in when a superb Robert Harrington corner kick was met on the head by the onrushing Kieran Devitt who smashed to the top corner of the net to give Rearcross the lead. Rearcross kept the pressure up for the next few minutes but slackened for the remaining half hour, a period edged by the home side who levelled through Mark Walsh with twenty five left on the clock, albeit the goal coming softly from a Rearcross point of view. Rearcross then thought they had taken the lead with ten minutes left on the clock when Michael O’ Gorman netted after the ball was knocked on by Tom Brady look-a-like Sean Sheehy; the American footballer deemed to have thrown an elbow toward his opponent in the process of jumping on this occasion. Moneygall however were busy themselves up at the other end and could have stolen all three points if not for some frantic defending from the Rea Bhoys.
