St Lomans Mullingar 0.12 Tyrrellspass 0.12

An entertaining encounter in Lakepoint Park between St Lomans and Tyrrellspass finished all square on Friday night last with both teams feeling they could have come out of the game with a win! 

It was a close game for the majority but a bright start from Tyrrellspass saw them go three points in front before a wonderful point from Garrett Hickey got St Lomans off the mark. The visitors added another point before Hickey was on target again with two scores one from a placed ball and another after linking up with Sam Mc Cartan. The sides were level at the break after further scores were traded with Hickey adding to his tally and Billy O Loughlin getting his name on the scoresheet.

St Lomans made a decent start to the second half and outscored the visitors in the opening ten minutes with two points from Chris Gilbert and another from Daniel Sheridan. Four unanswered points from Tyrrellspass saw the scoreboard overturned once again in their favour. 

St Lomans cause wasn’t helped when they were reduced to fourteen players after a second yellow card offence from Billy O Loughlin. St Lomans battles hard to their credit and were unlucky not to register a goal after Chris Gilbert’s penalty was saved and rebound was somehow tipped over by Tyrrellspass goalkeeper Zack Taylor in a save of the season contender! The visitors had a two-point lead heading into the closing stages but a late brace of points from Garrett Hickey levelled the scores as both teams had to settle for a share of the spoils.
