\nNewport Gaels (a combination of Newport and Ballinahinch) dominated the opening stages of this contest and led 0-4 to no-score after six minutes. Three James Mackey points (two frees) dragged \u00c9ire \u00d3g back into contention (0-3 to 0-4) by the 11th minute.<\/p>\n

The sides traded points thereafter with a fabulous James Mackey effort in the 24th minute leaving just one between the sides (0-7 to 0-8). A minute later Luke Kennedy struck for a superb left-handed goal following a clever pass from Gary Howard and \u00c9ire \u00d3g led 1-7 to 0-8. Indeed, \u00c9ire \u00d3g maintained that two-point advantage until the break: Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 1-8 Newport Gaels 0-9.<\/p>\n

Points from James Mackey (two frees) and Luke Kennedy helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 1-11 to 0-9 lead immediately after the interval. Newport Gaels stuck to their task however and thanks to a series of frees closed the gap to three points (1-15 to 0-15) with ten minutes to play. \u00c9ire \u00d3g responded well to the challenge however and closed out the game in impressive fashion out-scoring their hosts 0-3 to 0-2 when it mattered most.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s next outing is against Borris-Ileigh in MacDonagh Park, Nenagh on Wednesday, July 3rd (8pm). During the group stage of the championship the Blues will also face Roscrea, Kildangan, Kilruane MacDonagh\u2019s and Toomevara.<\/p>\n
