Senior Greyhound Bar Cup Killorglin 3 v 1 Samphires (Scorer Ryan Downey)
We made our exit from the Greyhound Bar Cup in Killorglin last Sunday morning, a disappointing defeat against a team from the division below us. We started well taking the lead through Ryan Downey who converted a free kick after 2 minutes. We didn’t push on and allowed Killorglin into the game and after 20 minutes they duly equalised. We lost a player soon after to a red card for a high tackle and this took the wind from our sails. In the second half we conceded a second but this roused our lads who then dominated the game pushing on for a goal and Killorglin sat back against this onslaught playing on the counter. With 10 to go we forced a good chance but hit the post and within seconds Killorglin went up the pitch to score again which finished the game as a contest.
We now have to redouble our efforts for the remaining games in the league and get another few points on the board to make sure that we preserve our place in the top division for next season, so lots still to play for.
