Goulding fires Éire Óg to easy win

COUNTY colleagues Daniel Goulding and Donnacha O’Connor found themselves on opposite sides in Banteer last night in the Evening Echo IFC third round, and it was the Éire Óg man who came away with the bragging rights after his side won by seven points in a lacklustre affair.

Goulding took up where he left off in last Sunday’s Munster SFC final to finish with 1-6 (1-4 from play) while his county team-mate could only manage five points, three from frees.

Apart from Goulding, the winners had another excellent player in Ciarán Sheehan, also a member of the county senior team, but he is heading off down under next week for at least four weeks to try his hand at Aussie Rules football.
