SENIOR FOOTBALL
TONES HANG ON
WOLFE TONES
CHRISTOPHER’S

2-17
4-10

Wolfe Tones followed up last week’s romp over the
Connemara Gaels with another win, though this week the
men in blue and navy just about hung on to earn a hard
fought win over Christopher’s. The Tones looked to be
cruising at half time, however, in the second half Christopher’s launched a comeback. Late goals from Dan Kenneally, who
was placed on the edge of the box pulled
Christopher’s within a point, however, at
that stage there was too little time left for
Christopher’s rescue the point.
The first 20 minutes was all Tones, and
it was 2 goals that kept the game from
slipping away from Christopher’s. Michael Argue accounted for the Tones first
half goal, and it was a good one. Argue
combined with fellow Cavan county man,
Dara McVeety and Tomas O’Connor to
place the ball in the bottom left corner of
Eoghan Keogh’s net.

The Tones were rampant, building from the half back line
the South Boston men lined up for scores from Marty Farrell,
McVeety, Ciaran Hurley, and Argue. Christopher’s hung in
thanks to two goals, the first from Eanna O’Connor and the
second from Dan Kenneally. Kenneally was placed on the
edge of the box to great effect, fisting a high ball into the corner of the net. Chances were at a premium for Christopher’s
however, and too often the shot drifted wide of the posts. At
the break it was a 6 point Tones lead, 1-12 to 2-3.
The second half saw the tables turn somewhat and Christopher’s enjoy the edge in. Darren McDonnell was a hero be-
