Vancouver GAA Championship 2026 - Men’s Junior Championship - Round 2
The Junior Footballers made it 2 wins from 2, with a last penalty to come out victorious on Wednesday evening against a strong and determined Eire Og.
The lads had a tough start with Eire Og on top for the first 10 – 15 minutes, the lads turned the table getting two goals in the first half, coming from Barry Collins and Stephen McCluskey.
Mick Fitzpatrick should have had Strava on during the game, as the man did not stop running from “the offset and throughout” as they’d say in the movies, a fantastic leader showing why he was named captain for the year.
A colossal performance once again from TJ Fox in midfield, contributing in terms of scores and some impressive aerial duels. Ronan Treacey was his cohort in Midfield, adding to the scoresheet with a late left footed free when the lads needed it most.
Nick Fitz took man marking to a whole new level, keeping a pacy wing back that was causing the lads all sorts of hardship at the start quiet for the remainder of the game.
But the man who deserves all the praise is non other than Barry Collins, a man on a mission, knocking over scores, as well as having the nerve to step up to the last kick of the game to dispatch a penalty sealing the deal for the lads.
The boys have a long break now before their next game on July 25th vs Van Isle down in Victoria.
ISSC Abú 💚💛
