Taghmon/Camross Weekly Press Release, 11 October, 1999

Senior Football Relegation

Taghmon/Camross have one chance left to retain senior football status after losing to Gusserane in Grantstown on Saturday afternoon by 0-11 to 0-4. Taghmon were weakened from the previous matches with a number of players unavailable. Gusserane started better and led by 0-4 to 0-0 after playing against the wind in the first half. The backs defended well to limit Gusserane to 4 points but unfortunately the forwards failed to register hitting a number of poor wides. In the second half Taghmon started better and a goal mouth meleé resulted in a point for substitute Derek Kent that could easily have been a goal. Taghmon were to have 5 clear cut goal chances in the second half which if successful could have changed the result, including a last minute penalty. But sadly lady luck was not with our lads. At the end of the match Gusserane were reduced to 14 men after an unsavoury incident that required Noel Doyle to be brought to hospital after being knocked out. Derek Kent, Jason McLoughlin, Paddy Fitzpatrick, and Eamon Codd scored the Taghmon points. Best for Taghmon was Bernard O'Gorman.
