The goal in the first match, scored by Shane O'Neills, was huge in the context of the game. They wouldn't have won it without that green flag. Tones will no doubt be kicking themselves that they lost that. They had opportunities but wasted them, particularly a goal chance that was well saved by the keeper. The shot that come off the cross-bar was a great effort but was also an easy opportunity for a point, when there was still time to take points to level. One that got away.
The second match was equally close and very exciting towards the end. Grange went down to 14 men in the second half but never lost heart. Clans on the other hand seemed to lost their way. Grange scored a late goal to take the lead but when Soup scored a brilliant goal in reply, it looked up for Grange. However they never gave up and despite being a man down they came back to win it with a breakaway point.
Have to say the match really threatened to boil over late on, with the tension spreading to the crowd in the stand where I was, with tempers really fraying.
