The Sean O'Mahony's Senior team beat Cooley Kickhams by two points in a hard fought battle, which went down the wire on the Point Road on Saturday evening.

The side from the peninsula started much brighter, dominating the first quarter, and notched the first three scores of the encounter before Ben McLaughlin fired over from long range. Gradually the home side edged their way into the game, with a wonderful score from the left wing, with his left boot, plus frees from Ben McLaughin and Terry Kelly left O'Mahony's trailing only by three points five minutes before the break. However the home were by now dominating the exchanges and another Ben McLaughin converted free, before big Conor Martin landed a monster of a kick with the instep of his right foot. Then Terry Kelly drilled over his second free, again the turf with his trusted left foot to leave the side all square at the break.

The second half was a much lower scoring affair, with Cooley only managing two point in the half, but the game was still exciting to watch, with teams playing ball at near championship pace. Terry Kelly proved to be the match winner, kicking the 3 second half points, two more drilled over off the sod, and also with brilliant finish for one from play, with Ben McLaughlin adding his fourth of the day in-between, to leave a final score of 11 points to 9 points. Next Sunday evening the Brides travel to the Point Road for a 8pm start in our third league game of the year.
