Tang 1-13 Tubberclair 0-5

Tang played Tubberclair in Tubberclair on Sunday last. Tang’s pitch was deemed unplayable and the match switched to Tubberclair and the match started just after 12. Both sides shared a pt each before Tang’s greater dominance was rewarded on the scoreboard with Martin Rock and Aidan Burke kicking fine scores. A ten min spell just before the break proved to be the winning of the match as Tang kicked 1-3 with no reply from Tubberclair. A high centre from the boot of Aidan Burke found Martin Rock who beat two men and despite the best efforts of All Star Gary Connaughton, the ball ended in the net. Moments later John Rock had a chance of goal but his rasping shot just rose above the crossbar for an invaluable pt and with Aidan Burke adding a couple from play, Tang went into the interval with a commanding lead 1-8 to 0-1.

Tubberclair aided by the breeze and the introduction of Fergal Wilson laid siege in the Tang half but a mixture of good defending and bad shot selection saw Tubberclair add two pts in a fifteen min spell. Tang broke their duck when Martin Rock and Aidan Burke added pts and Tang added two more pts and the match fizzled out as a contest. Tang will be glad to collect two pts in their first match as harder battles lie ahead. Team Michael Galvin, Sean Coughlan, Alan Murray, Dean Reddin, John Rock, Robert English, Ian Coughlan, Trevor English, Colm Conlon, Niall Bannon, Sean Egan, Alan Higgins, Martin Rock, Aidan Burke, William Flanagan, Owen Coughlan, Darragh Burke, Martin Donoghue.
