Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory!!

Na Gleannta U - 21s 0 - 8      Kilkerrin/Clonberne  2 - 4


After completing their first victory on Friday evening against Menlough, Na Gleannta opened in a much more confident vein. They steadily scored points during the first half and turned around leading by 6 unanswered points.  The second half however was a different story!

The second half saw the two teams matching each other in the early stages, but Kilkerrin/Clonberne were slowly building in confidence as Na Gleannta gradually seemed to lose their way a little. A few missed opportunities cost Na Gleannta dear as they were unable to convert possession and territory into points.  Kilkerrin/Clonberne were, however, slowly racking up their score and in the last 10 minutes or so were the dominant team eventually putting the ball in the net twice to emerge from the jaws of defeat by 2 points.

Not a bad weekend for the Na Gleannta lads again though.  Notching up their first win, and losing a game they were well on track to win after only playing together 4 times, shows a lot of promise for the future.
