Double delight for Ovens

Ovens Boys NS 3-5 Ballygarvan Boys NS 1-4

Superbly led by team captain Brian McNabóla and Tommy Murphy at midfield, they struck for a great goal in the 10th minute from Darragh O’Connell and Ballygarvan looked to be in for a drubbing. But Ballygarvan hit back almost immediately with a cracking goal by Niall Dowd and went on to enjoy a good spell from there to the break as Ovens led 1-3 to 1-1, but they were grateful to their ‘keeper Luke O’Doherty for two wonderful saves.

The Carrigdhoun school were on level terms early in the second-half but the game turned dramatically in Ovens’ favour after the impressive Tommy Murphy raced through before billowing the net from close range.
