On an ideal night at Parnell Park for football our senior footballers find themselves going back into the championship through the back door. On a score line of 1-14 to 0-16, the Barrs have only themselves to blame for the defeat.
Having controlled most of the match, we went asleep in the last quarter to let St Margaret’s into it and were lucky to not to been going out at the last kick of the ball in normal time. In a re-run of normal time the Barrs again controlled the game but through taking the wrong options and having over 15 wides, the game slipped away from us.
In fairness to St Margaret’s they never gave up and if you are not ruthless enough, teams will come back at you in this level of football. The game was played in good spirits but the Na Fianna referee made some very strange decisions.
We must regroup for the back door and hopefully we can lean from last night. The support for the team was very poor for a club our size and people should make it a point to be out supporting our senior teams in championship.
