Mogeely B 1-1 Inch United
Mogeely Junior B earned a hard fought point at home to Inch on Sunday afternoon in AUL Division 3. Mogeely had the better of the opening period of the game and had the biggest chance of the game when Darragh Murphy burst down the left wing putting a pinpoint cross to the back post finding Oran Murphy who saw his header brilliantly saved at point blank range. The rebound fell for the onrushing David Jones who couldn’t keep his effort down as the ball whizzed over the Inch crossbar
Inch seemed to gain confidence from that let off and punished Mogeely on 25 minutes when Fionn Aherne crossed for Cian Nicholson who slotted cooly into the corner of the net to put the away side ahead. Inch continued to put Mogeely under pressure for the remainder of the half in an effort to extend their lead but the home sides defence remained resolute to keep it a one score game by half time.
Mogeely regrouped at the break and the introductions of Oran Reilly, debutant Daniel Coffey and Ethan O Connor provided fresh legs and a renewed energy early in the 2nd half and on 62 minutes Mogeely equalised with Reilly releasing Oran Murphy on the left who kept his composure to bury the ball into the far corner.
In truth, the remainder of the game was a closely contested affair with both teams cancelling each other out in the main but Inch created one last big chance in the final 15 minutes when their free kick rebounded fortunately off Mogeelys wall and fell to an Inch forward who saw his effort denied by Mogeely shotstopper Cayden Hyde, getting down quickly to his left to steer the ball away earning another point for his side.
Olann Jones, Seán Freeman and Tadhg O Connell put in strong performances on the day.
