Maryland/Tang 4-9 Tyrrellspass 1-6
A greatly under strength Maryland/Tang played Tyrrellspass on Sunday last in the second round of the Minor League. Playing into a stiff breeze Maryland/Tang took the match to Tyrrellspass and were soon rewarded when Emmet Moran’s shot dipped into the top corner of the net for the opening score. Martin Rock added a further 1-1 before Ryan Allen chipped the goalie to leave Maryland/Tang leading 3-1 to 0-1. Maryland/Tang defence were holding firm and limiting Tyrrellspass to shooting from afar with Aaron Elliot, Darragh Mc Cormack and Paul O Neill defending stoutly. Maryland/Tang were well on top with the Rock brothers, John and Martin in fine form and Christy Hermbusche winning a lot of ball around the middle.
Tyrrellspass did start the second half in determined fashion but were unable to make inroads against a Maryland/Tang defence where Billy Elliot, Kenny Egan and Darren Allen were excellent. Maryland/Tang picked off four pts through Martin Rock and Darragh Burke. Tyrrellspass were then handed a lifeline with a very harshly awarded penalty in the 45th minute and converted.
Maryland/Tang reeled off further pts through John Rock, Peter Cunningham and Martin Rock and ran out worthy winners at the final whistle. This was a tough encounter and a great team performance from a understrength Maryland/Tang .

Maryland/Tang 5-14 Garrycastle 3-10
Maryland/Tang played Garrycastle in the first round of the Minor League under lights in Garrycastle. Maryland/Tang started the game brightly and really took the game to Garrycastle and had the better of exchanges taking a deserved 1-10 to 1-2 lead into the break.
The second half saw a determined Garrycastle reel off four pts in a row to narrow the gap. Further pressure from Garrycastle saw more scores to reduce the lead to a point. This seem to awaken Maryland/Tang from their slumber and soon added two goals and two pts to once again pull away.
Maryland/Tang ran out worthy winners with two further goals to leave the full-time score 5-14 to 3-10. This was an entertaining match with both teams playing some attractive football and kicking some fine scores. Maryland/Tang had a big panel on the night with everyone playing their part and hopefully look forward to a good year ahead.
