Rock 3-12 Moortown 1-12

Rock produced a very well organised display to see off the challenge of Moortown in Saturday’s game at Donaghmore. This LCC Intermediate Championship fixture produced lots of chances for both sides and some excellent scores but it was Rock who emerged victorious after a very convincing showing.

Moortown played wind assisted in the first half and opened the scoring with points from Peter and Mark Devlin. However a fast break from Rock followed by some lovely inter play saw Connor Mc Garrity fouled and referee Kieran Eannetta award a penalty. Corner forward Liam Nugent showed great composure to send Mark Ryan the wrong way and fire the ball to the back of the net. A point three minutes later from Shea Daly put Rock 1-1 to 0-2 ahead with twelve minutes gone.

Moortown bounced back with points from Tony Quinn and  Brian Mc Lernon to tie the game. However from then until the half time whistle Rock were very much in the ascendancy with six points in a row to reach the break leading 1-7 to 0-5. Shea Daly landed his second point of the evening while Liam Nugent (2) and Shane Murphy (3) were both on target. Murphy’s three points were all long distance frees struck into the breeze and hit with great accuracy.

Points from Murphy and Nugent got the scoreboard turning at the start of second half for Rock before Tony Quinn hit Moortown’s sixth point. Any chance of a Moortown comeback all but disappeared when Aidan and Conor Mc Garrity both found the net midway through the second half.

Moortown continued to battle and added points from Ryan Kelly, Brian Mc Lernon (3) and Mark Devlin (2) but Rock defended stoutly to deny them any goal scoring opportunities. The Lough shore men did manage to find the net but the goal, from Tony Quinn, came so late in the game that it merely added gloss to the score.

Final score: Rock 3-12, Moortown 1-12.

Scorers: Rock- Liam Nugent 1-6, Shea Daly 0-2, Shane Murphy 0-4, Aidan Mc Garrity 1-0, Conor Mc Garrity 1-0

Moortown- Tony Quinn 1-1, Peter Devlin 0-1, Mark Devlin 0-1, Brian Mc Lernon 0-4, Paul Quinn 0-1, Mark Devlin 0-4.

Referee: K Eannetta (Omagh)
