Moorefield Triumph in League Final

Moorefield 1-10 Sarsfield 0-12

Moorefield captured the U/15 league title against neighbours Sarsfield in a tight and tence affair. Conditions were not ideal as the ground was very slippy and a bittrtly cold wind blew but never the less both teams served up a cracking game.Sarsfield's began with the wind in their backs but the early scores were three a piece after almost a quater of an hour. Michael "Frosty" Tracey,Alan Thorpe and Keith Duane looked particularly sharp for Moorefield in the early exchanges and all got well taken scores. Sarsfield's centre forward Paul O'Hanlon was causing problems for Moorefield also and with their full forward Ronan Smullen also getting on the score board Sarsfield's lead at half time by 0-09 to 0-06.
Moorefield launced an all at attack for the first quater of the second half. Ross Glavin was starting every attack for the Moor's and with Alan Thorpe converting the lead was down to a point. Moorefield's Eddie Crudden switched from midfield to full forward and this move was rewarded with a great goal from the big lad. Moorefield added another point through the outstanding "Frosty" who retired shortly after injured, following which Sarsfield's fought back in the last ten minutes with two 2 points from their half-forward Niall Johnson, Barry O'Shea converted a free for the Moor's which sealed victory for his side. Moorefield deserved this win and this side should go on to claim more glory in the future. Like most games played between these two clubs at any level their was'nt much between them in the end and neither will give in too easy. Best for Sarsfield : Ronan Smullen, Niall Johnson & Paul O'Hanlon. Best for  Moorefield : Ross Glavin, Killian Hart, Micael Trcey, Alan Thrope, Keith Duane and Eddie Crudden.
