Peile na Gaeltachta......Preliminary round- Chloich Cheann Fhaola 1-8 Naomh Mhuire 1-10.....Phew!!!
Without coming out of second gear the lads made their way into the quarter final of an Comortás with a narrow win over the hosts tonight in Falcarragh. This was a no-win situation for Naomh Mhuire playing against a team they had beaten well last month with everyone expecting them to win easily... but the objective was simply to win and get to do battle with Clann na Gael tommorrow.
In the second half a big and strong home side made it difficult in what was a niggly game.This stopped any flow which Naomh Muire tried to get going and made it tougher going than was expected.
However....the main thing was to get into the next round and the lads never really looked like anything other than winners even if it wasn't by a bigger margin.
They will play much better and more open against Clan na Gael tomorrow because that game is better set up than this slippery type of match tonight. We'll see the lads go through all the gears and they will be on song tommorrow. The game tomoroow is in the Pobailscoil field near to the school at 2pm.....Bigí linn.
