Captain Marvel Tommy Owens lead his Kilmainhamwood GFC medal-laden (from yesteryear) troops to victory when he coolly pointed to seal a well-deserved 2:07 to 0:12 victory.
The ‘Wood lined out with many of the stars that this great club was built on in the 90’s and with Tommy Owens at the helm, they set about their task. Bective opened the brighter and took an early lead when their full-forward enjoyed some early possession before experienced full-back Stephen Smith battened down the hatches to have a solid game at the heart of the defence. Former Meath star Ray Magee settled the Kilmainhamwood nerves on 5 minutes when he converted a free following a good work from Damien Farrelly. On seven minutes Damien Russell finished off a lovely move following a barn-storming run from wing-back Ronnie Owens who rolled through the Bective defence like an 18-wheeler. Ray Magee converted the first of two penalties after Tommy Owens had set his sights and was about to unload before being hauled to the ground in a last ditch attempt to stop the maestro from burying her. Colm Gilcreest was introduced after 20 minutes for Benny Reilly and immediately showed he hadn’t lost it with a display of the customary dummies … some even fooling himself. The K-wood forwards where beginning to click with Francis Owens pulling the strings in the 40 and Ray Magee, Damien Russell and The Tommy showing for every ball. This lively play yielded another penalty which was duly dispatched by the ice-cool Ray Smoothie Magee. Jude Collins at centre-back and Aidan Crosbie at mid-field provided the launch pad for the lively forwards. As the half drew to a close another legend from a bi-gone era was introduced as the unmistakeable Larry McCormack replaced Damien Farrelly. At the half the scoreboard favoured Kilmainhamwood as it read 2:02 vs. 0:05
Bective to their credit came storming out of the blocks in the second half and notched up four quick points to take the lead. However, the Kilmainhamwood men did not panic and with Aidan Crosbie getting a stronghold at midfield and Larry McCormack now prominent in attack the ‘Wood soon rattled off a few scores of their own. Ray Magee pointed from dead balls following great work from Tommy Owens, Colm Gilcreest, Francis Owens and Conor Kiernan. Gary Yorke was introduced for Ronnie Owens and David Dolan replaced Philip Reilly as the game was in the melting pot. Bective score three points in a row to take the lead before a Ray Magee free levelled the match with a few minutes remaining
Cometh the hour cometh the man … when Kilmainhamwood needed their captain Tommy Owens, up he stood. Aidan Crosbie secured the ball in the middle of the field and an intricate move involving Larry McCormack, Francis Owens, Colm Gilcreest, found its way to Smoothie who knew the man for the job was ahead of his. Smoothie past the ball onto Tommy Owens and time stood still and the crowd rose in anticipation as Tommy eyed up his target. He knew what he had to do, he knew his team needed him and with the hopes and the dreams of the parish on his shoulders, he let her fly … high … high … high into the air she flew dissecting the posts like … like … like something you dissect, and as the umpire waved the white flag to register the winner The Tommy saluted the frenzied crowd and he ran back to position chest-out peacock like.
The referee brought proceedings to a halt and just as we all remember singing “When Mick went up to lift the Sam Maguire, we were there” so too we can sing about where we were when Captain Marvel Tommy Owens shot the Kilmainhamwood JFC D to victory on a score line of 2:07 to 0:12.
