Carndonagh Clinch Kevin Lynch Electrical Under 12B Title

Final Score: Carndonagh 5-06 Buncrana 2-07

Congratulations to the Carndonagh Under 12 B football side who picked up the first trophy of the season with an emphatic win over Buncrana on Monday night in Muff on a score of 5-06 to 2-07. Despite a stiff breeze it was a great evening for football and Buncrana opened the game brightly, firing over points from Michaela Mullan, Ricky Fagan and Gareth Porter.

Carndonagh’s only score in the first half was a point by Aaron Hegarty midway through the half. Buncrana stretched their lead before the break with a goal and two points from their star player Michaela Porter and a point from Ricky Fagan.

The second half however belonged to the red and greens of Carndonagh, as they piled on relentless pressure on an overworked Buncrana defence. Corey Lafferty hit the first of Carn’s goals and when Martin McLaughlin reduced the deficit to just two points with another goal a minute later, the writing was on the wall for the Buncrana boys. Points from Conor McCormick and Aaron Hegarty levelled the game and then Hegarty goaled again to give Carn the lead for the first time.

Points from McLaughlin and McCormick (2) gave Carndonagh a five point cushion before Ricky Fagan pulled a goal back for Buncrana. Man of the match Conor McCormick hit the net twice in the dying minutes for Carndonagh while Michaela Porter scored a late consolation point or Buncrana

Scorers - Carndonagh: Aaron Hegarty (1-02), Martin McLaughlin (1-01), Corey Lafferty (1-00), Conor McCormick (2-03). Buncrana scorers: Michaela Mullan (1-04), Ricky Fagan (1-02), Gareth Porter (0-01).
