\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 1-15 Borris-Ileigh 3-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing into the breeze in the opening half the Blues played exceptionally well and led by seven points at the break (1-9 to 0-5).<\/p>\n

Early points from Anthony Walsh (free) and Adam Healy set \u00c9ire \u00d3g on their way before Borris-Ileigh opened their account in the fourth minute. Jake Morris and Liam Maher added to the Blues\u2019 tally before Borris-Ileigh converted a free in the seventh minute.<\/p>\n

A Jake Morris point preceded an \u00c9ire \u00d3g goal in the tenth minute – the raiding Adam Healy found Craig Himli and the corner-forward made no mistake from close range. A Jake Morris brace (one free) and a Craig Himli point helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 1-8 to 0-2 lead by the 13th minute.<\/p>\n

Borris-Ileigh fired two reasonable goal chances wide in the 16th and 17th minutes before a converted \u201965 added to their tally. In the 22nd minute Borris-Ileigh opted to go for goal from a 21-yard free, but Anthony Walsh reacted well and blocked the shot. Two further Borris-Ileigh points cut the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lead to six, but a late Jake Morris effort left seven between them at the break (1-9 to 0-5).<\/p>\n

A Jake Morris free in the opening minute of the second half left eight between them before \u00c9ire \u00d3g \u2018keeper Se\u00e1n Shanahan denied Borris-Ileigh a goal with a neat save in the 32nd minute. Borris-Ileigh added a point three minutes later before \u00c9ire \u00d3g full-forward Brian Tuite was shown a straight red card in the 37th minute.<\/p>\n

A Gavin O\u2019Connor point in the 41st minute steadied the Blues, but a Borris-Ileigh brace (one free) left six between them (1-11 to 0-8) entering the final quarter. \u00c9ire \u00d3g responded well to the challenge with two Jake Morris points (one free) opening an eight-point gap with just ten minutes to play (1-13 to 0-8).<\/p>\n

Borris-Ileigh drilled home a 21-yard free in the 52nd minute. Once more \u00c9ire \u00d3g responded positively with two more Jake Morris points (one free) leaving seven between them in the 53rd minute.<\/p>\n

On the hour mark Borris-Ileigh won and converted a penalty before finding another goal in the 63rd minute to close the gap to one prior to referee Mike Murphy\u2019s final whistle.<\/p>\n

John Manley’s Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g team have been drawn in group one of the north championship alongside Roscrea, Newport Gaels, Borris-Ileigh and Portroe. John Manley is joined on the management team by selectors Derek Lillis, Christy McLoughlin and Paudie Gleeson. <\/p>\n
