On Thursday evening the Sean O'Mahony's Senior team got the better of Dreadnots in a pulsating game on the Point Road, with young Conor Mackin's late goal the difference in the end. The home side dominated the first half, although scores were hard to come by against a packed defense, but Stephen Kilcoyne did open the scoring with a trademark score after only 2 minutes. Thomas Rice floated a great point over after 10 minutes, shortly after the visitors equalizer, before Stephen Fisher's angled drive was tipped over the bar by the Dreadnots goalie, to leave it 3 points to 2 point at the first waterbreak. Conor Finnegan then steered the ball between the uprights from a tight angle wide on the right with the outside of the boot, before Conor Mackin drilled a low shot just over crossbar following a pitch length breakaway. Conor Finnegan completed the opening half's scoring when he deliciously floated the ball over the back spot from 50 yards, again with the outside of the laces, to leave 3 points between the side on the changeover. After the break, play was pretty even, with Stephen Kilcoyne and Thomas Rice landing 2 frees either side of a fine Ben McLaughlin point, who was put through by a brilliant John O'Brien long range pass, while the visitors also managed 3 fine scores of their own. The crucial score of the match came with just over 5 minutes left on the clock when Ben McLaughlin threaded a clever ball into Conor Mackin who reeled around his marker before haring through on goal and smashing the ball high into the onion bag from point blank range. The roadside sideline erupted in union, and suddenly it was a 6 point game with time running out for the Clogherhead side. However they did not throw in the towel, kicking 3 late points of their own, but could not break through a resolute home defence, who did what was required to keep possession and see out the game. Next up is county champions St Martins in Monasterboice on Sunday at 4.30.
