Dramatic Win For Scoil Niocláis !
by
Match Reporter/Corner Forward
Cathal Kenny
On Tuesday the 28th of September, Scoil Niocláis played a football match in Douglas against Upper Glanmire. There was great excitement in the team because we knew this was going to tough. The game was delayed because it was raining heavily and Glanmire thought they hadn’t enough jerseys. They didn’t check but luckily they had enough. Mr Moynihan made a tactical change by putting Sam Hanley centre forward and Ross Howell in full. The captain was Conor Nash.
The match got under way and we were on top. It was very tight at the start. Brian Flahive and Aaron Moynihan dominated midfield and Colm Coakley, Sean Grace, Christian Begley, Kevin Lee, Conor Nash and Daniel Quinlan were good at the back. Adam Idah, Mark Butler, Sam Hanley, David Harrington, Ross Howell and Andrew O’ Connell were doing up front. I am not forgetting the outstanding Cian Allen in goal.
It was a very dramatic ending with only 2 points the margin at the end. Glanmire got a scorable chance and went for goal but missed. In the build-up to the free, Ross Howell was punched and the Glanmire player was sent off. It was so tight at the end Mr Moynihan and Mr O‘Donovan only making two substitutions being Cathal Kenny and Adam Coleman. It was a great game and a deserved, well-earned 3rd victory. We may have to meat these boys again!
However, we have now to concentrate on beating Carrignavar on next Tuesday 5th October at home in Douglas GAA. Roll on Carrignavar.

Rough and Tough but a Wins a Win by Sean Grace
Scoil Niocláis v Castlelyons
Reporter/Full-back : Sean Grace
On the 23rd of September Scoil Nioclais took on Castlelyons in a league match .In the first half of the match Castlelyons scored a quick point the shot dropped short but it bounced over our keepers head .With a quick kick out, Scoil Nioclais bounced back with a goal which was set up by mark but finished off by outstanding finish by Adam.
Things were not over yet because Castlelyons came with 2 more points which levelled the game. Things were getting exciting! Scoil Nioclais scored another 4 points which were scored by Cristian, Ross, Aaron and Brian. Brian took his chances well and scored the second goal for Scoil Nioclais.
The score board looked good for Scoil Nioclais as it was 2-4 too 1-3 but just to make it even sweeter Cathal scored a goal for Scoil Nioclais after getting a beautiful pass from Colum. He took a cracking shot at the goal which flew past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net . GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!
In the second half, things seemed to get tougher because Castlelyons bounced back with a goal . After they had scored the goal things got even rougher but when Aaron slotted a smashing goal. That put them back into their box.
If it was not for the defenders Castlelyons would have scored a dozen points. Scoil Nioclais still managed to scrap 2 points more - one by Brian and another by Ross. Castlelyons scored 2 more points but by then there was only a minute left and when the final whistle blew the score was 4-6 too 1-5.
Another tough win for Scoil Niocláis. Now for our next match against Carrignavar on the 5th October.

On the 14th of September Scoil Niocláis had their first league match against Scoil Eoin (Inashannon). The match was held in Douglas GAA.
The two teams went into their dressing rooms and got ready for the match. The girls went down to the pitch and got warmed up. Then the match began!
Scoil Niocláis had the ball but Scoil Eoin ruined their chance of scoring. Scoil Eoin attacked up the pitch and Scoil Niocláis’ keeper came out to try and stop them but they scored a goal.
Scoil Nioclais’ keeper kicked it out to the midfielders and then they passed the ball to the forwards and Saoirsa ran at the Scoil Eoin keeper and scored a brilliant goal.
Minutes went by and there were many points scored. The half time whistle went. The score was 2-4 to Scoil Eoin and 3-5 to Scoil Nioclais. We had a chat about how we were doing and subs who were coming on and off. Game on!
Scoil Nioclais scorched up the pitch and scored a wonderful point. Scoil Eoin came back with a score of their own. Minutes went by and goals and points were scored. Final whistle went and it was all over!
Scoil Nioclais had won the match. The score was 7-6 to 5-5. It was a match well played!
