\nFootball Championship
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 0-7
\nNewport Gaels 2-10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing with the wind in the opening half \u00c9ire \u00d3g raced into a 0-3 to no-score lead inside the opening eight minutes thanks to efforts from Craig Himli, Jake Morris and Conor McCarthy.<\/p>\n

Newport Gaels got off the mark thanks to a free in the tenth minute before Jake Morris created a goal-scoring opportunity for Adam Healy. Unfortunately Adam\u2019s rasping shot flew narrowly wide.<\/p>\n

An Adam Healy free and then an Alex Jones point helped the Blues into a 0-5 to 0-1 lead by the 25th minute. But credit must go to Newport Gaels who responded well to the challenge and scored three late first half points to leave just one between them at the break (0-5 to 0-4).<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g conceded a penalty in the opening minute of the second half, but \u2018keeper Ian McNamara saved brilliantly before a Newport point in the 33rd minute tied the game at 0-5 apiece.<\/p>\n

The Blues edged back into the lead thanks to a Niall McKeogh point in the 38th minute. A Newport Gaels free eight minutes later tied the game before the visitors struck for a vital goal in the 48th minute. The Gaels then added three points and with nine minutes to play the Blues found themselves trailing by six (0-6 to 1-9).<\/p>\n

A second superb save from Ian McNamara brightened up the evening from an \u00c9ire \u00d3g point of view in the 52nd minute before Newport landed their tenth point of the evening.<\/p>\n

Aaron Hogan swung over a terrific Nenagh point in the 56th minute, but Newport enjoyed the final say in the matter when the Gaels crashed home a second goal in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n

Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g will face Portroe in their remaining group two game while Kildangan, Inane Rovers and Ballina battle it out in group one for a place in the semi-finals. <\/p>\n

The Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g team are managed by John Manley (manager), Paudie Gleeson, Derek Lillis and Christy McLoughlin.<\/p>\n
