GAA | Sean O’Mahony’s GFC Club Notes

June 01st 2017

The first victory came against the Dreadnots last Tuesday night, the O’Mahony’s running out three-points winners, 3–15 to 2–15.

On what was a lovely warm evening, the club’s second team had its biggest turnout of the year with 25 players all looking for a game.

In a see saw encounter, the O’Mahony’s led by four points at half-time thanks to a goal shortly before the break by player manager David Dowling.

The visitors started with the first three points of the second half before a great Paddy Byrne goal put daylight between the teams again.

Two second half goals saw the Dreadnots level the tie with only minutes remaining before a fantastic long range strike into the net from Sean Mathews sealed the win for the home side.
