Barr’s pip Douglas and avoid relegation battle
Douglas will reflect on a great second-half comeback, in stark contrast to their opening half- a half that ultimately cost them victory. If you want to beat the ’Barr’s you must always consider ‘the Murray question’ and how to curtail him. Kevin may be in his 35th year but shows little signs of ageing and the game was only alive for 33 seconds when he pounced for a trademark goal. That set the tone for the rest of the half with Murray in particular and the ’Barr’s in general on top and leading by eight points at the break.
Whatever coach Teddy McCarthy said to the troops at half time had an immediate effect. And though playing into the breeze they produced a super second half effort which just fell short and they now face a relegation battle with Bishopstown.
