Halloween Heartbreak in Navan
As Donaghmore Ashbourne supporters headed out of Pairc Tailteann this evening they couldn’t but be reminded of Al Pacino’s character Tony D'Amato’s inspirational speech in the film Any Given Sunday where the game is all about inches. This could sum up the Division 1 league final today where our lads lost out to Summerhill by a single point on a final score line of 2-05 to 0-11. Overall our lads could not be faulted for commitment, effort and hard work but again with maybe a bit of lady luck or possibly experience or composure and it could have been a different result.
We gave away a penalty in the 6th minute and recovered to look to go in at the interval ahead but a sloppy goal on 26 minutes gave the Hill a 2-01 to 0-06 half time lead. Even in the second half we had regained the lead by the 37th minute when we were rewarded a penalty. Unfortunately Andrew Tormey’s effort was saved and Summerhill replied with 4 answered points. Two late points from our lads was not enough to force the game into extra time. It would be unfair to blame any one player for the result as everyone gave their all and although overall it was a very entertaining game it’s no consolation for losing a league final and being crowned top league team in the county.

Our senior team booked a place in the 2010 Division 1 League final after a hard earned victory over Walterstown earlier today. Although we ran out 1-10 to 0-07 winners it was far from comforable for a lot of the game. Despite having a lot of the possesion in the first half we trailed at the interval by 0-06 to 0-03. Even at the end of the third quarter we still trailed the visitors by a point however a goal by Ian Dowd on 46 minutes was the turning point and we managed five further points in the final quarter. Our lads play Summerhill in the final with no date fixed for this game yet. Match report to follow.
