ON SATURDAY EVENING in Dooey the second round robin Junior A Football Championship set of fixtures saw St Mary’s travel to Lettermacaward.
Na Rossa 0-10 St Mary’s Convoy 0-11
It was a game that both teams had to secure points for any hope of qualifying for the next round of the competition.
Na Rossa through the lively Odhran Molloy went two points up at the outset but Convoy hit back strongly with five unanswered points through the accurate kicking of corner forward Antony Brown, who scored four times, and Ryan Kettle.

Na Rossa started the second half strongly and levelled up the match at eight points a piece through JP McCready (0-2), Adam McHugh and a super score from a very narrow angle from the pacy Conor McCahill.

A pivotal point with 12 minutes gone in the second half as Odhran Molloy received two yellow cards and now Na Rossa were down to 14 men.
It was point for point after that with time running out as John Antony McMullan and Michael Ayton put two points between the sides again. JP McCready narrowed the gap again to the bare minimum but Convoy held on to win and register two valuable points.
