Galbally Win Grade Two Minor League Title
Wednesday 17.08.2022
Galbally won the grade two minor league title at Stewartstown on Wednesday evening when they had three points to spare over Dungannon in a keenly contested decider, 1-11 to 1-8 the final scoreline.
The Clarkes began the better of the two sides and by the end of the opening quarter they were 0-4 to 0-2 in front with points coming from Leo Hughes, Finn Spence and Fearghal Mallon, Eoghan O’Neill with a brace for the Pearses. Gradually Galbally began to get on top and scores from Joseph Corrigan, Sean Hughes and O’Neill enabled them to lead 0-6 to 0-4 at the break.
It was an advantage that they were never to lose and after Leo Hughes and O’Neill had swapped early second half points Enda McLaughlin palmed in a 35th minute goal for the winners. Dungannon though dug deep with Hughes and a Spence brace reducing the deficit to two points with twenty minutes left to play.
Galbally didn’t panic though with Sean Hughes converting a “45” and O’Neill taking his personal haul to 0-7 before Corrigan left six between the two sides. Time was not on Dungannon’s side but a goal from Jose Pereira halved the deficit to set up a tense finale. Dungannon through everything that they had at Galbally but the Pearses held on to take the silverware.
