An extremely experienced Sean O’Mahony’s Junior team rolled back the years in the glorious sunshine in Roche on Sunday afternoon to come away with a 5 point victory. With 7 of the starting 15 over 35, many making their seasonal debuts, this was a great effort from the whole team. Roche were also missing many regulars themselves and did put up a great fight back, and kept going to the final whistle, but the lads from the Quay kept tacking on the scores. The goal came midway through the second half from a Sean Mathews shot from distance, which nestled in the top corner of the net just over the keepers reach. David Crawley was spot on from placed balls, kicking 3 in total, David Dowling powered through for 3 points from play and senior selector Gary Mulligan drove 2 between the posts. 55 year old Michael Crawley caused the biggest cheer of the day when only just on as sub, he received a quick free from his brother David before floating the ball over the bar for the final score of the afternoon.
