Carndonagh 1-15 Urris 2-04

A great opening by Carndonagh set the tone for a dominant first half display and this left Carndonagh leading 1-09 to 0-01. Carndonagh won the majority of ball from kick outs and fed the forward line with some good quality ball. Cathal O'Kane in particular benefited, scoring a goal and a few points and made one superb catch which deserved a score. Urris came more into the game in the second half, as the damp conditions made handling difficult. The Urris players ran at the Carn defence, causing problems around the goal. Some Carn players attempted to run at the Urris defence but too often their hard work was undone by the fact that they did not pass to a teammate in a better position when the opportunity arose. Some wasteful shooting, bad handling and passing by the Carn players in the second half almost undid all the good work of the first half and allowed Urris back into the game. This match was a good way to start off the Under 14 league and everyone's performance can be improved. Best for Carn were at midfield: Dermot and Gerry Simpson who were covered by Shane Devlin and Dominic Doherty, with Christopher McLaughlin and Michael Nelson always dangerous on the wings. While at Fullforward, Cathal O'Kane had a great game. The Carn back six had a very good first half but more work is needed from the evidence of the second half.
