Tinryland G.F.C. club Notes 24th September 2023
Tinryland Senior footballers are back in another Co. final after a professional display in the semi-final in difficult conditions at Netwatch Cullen Park on Sunday. Their opponents on Sunday 4 p.m. will be Eire Og who beat Rathvilly in a penalty shoot-out in the other semi-final.
It was a good week for the club at underage level when the U15 team captured the Healy family cup by winning the Cental Division 1B final against Eire Og in a cracking game at the Netwatch training Centre on Wednesday last. In one of the best games seen at the venue this year the game was decided in extra time with Tinryland winning on a scoreline of 2-13 to 3-8. Jamie Doyle the captain contributed 1-12 of Tinryland’s total in this game with other scores coming from Harry O’Brien, Walter Webb and Liam Ryan. The team was: Brandon Deane, Oliver Walsh, Cathal Purcell, Cian McNamara, Charlie Keogh, Luke Cahill, Calum O’Brien-Murphy, Mikey Byrne, Harry O’Brien, Walter Webb, Jamie Doyle (Captain), Eanna Dunican, James McDonnell, Liam Ryan, Macdara Deane, Oisin Byrne, Daniel Byrne, Conal Doyle, Evan Farrell, Sean Og Farrell, Max Duignan, Jamie Deane, Mark Cahill.
The U15 team will bring the cup to Tinryland N.S. on tomorrow Monday at the invitation of school principal Orlaith Hennessy and hopefully their visit will inspire the next generation of Cumann na mBunscoill and juvenile players.
Well done to the backroom team of Enda Dunican, John Murphy, Paula Hickey, Mick Kehoe, John Farrell, and Gregg Doyle for their hard work with the team during the season.
