ACFL Division 1:
Athlone
1-9 Tang 0-20
Our seniors suffered their third defeat of this year’s league campaign when
they were beaten by an in-form Tang side in this round four fixture played in
Tang in perfect conditions on Sunday morning.. Athlone got off to a dream
start with a Josh Beaumont goal straight from the throw-in, but the home side
settled and struck some fine scores to lead by 0-7 to 1-2 after 15 minutes,
with Athlone’s points coming from two superbly-struck placed balls from Kieran
Colclough. The visitors were then dealt a blow when Diarmuid Martin was
sent off after receiving a yellow and black card in quick succession, but they
restricted Tang to just two points in the second quarter and another Kieran Colclough
free left three points between the sides at the break, 0-9 to 1-3 in Tang’s
favour.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Athlone more than held their own in the
opening stages of the second period, and two excellent scores each from Mark
Egan and Kieran Colclough meant that they trailed by just two, 0-12 to 1-7, at
the midway point of the half. However, just as had happened at the same
stage of the opening period, Athlone’s numbers were reduced even further when
James Finlass was dismissed for a second yellow card. With a two-man
disadvantage, Athlone were unable to contain the home side’s attack and Tang
added several late scores to run out comfortable winners on a scoreline of 0-20
to 1-9.
