Mitchelstown Go Down To Na Piarsaigh

Mitchelstown 0-13 Na Piarsaigh 1-11

Mitchelstown played their last game in the 2022 Cork Credit Unions Div Two Football league away to

Na Piarsaigh where a win would have seen them play div two football next year but alas a one point

defeat means we will be down in div 3 for 2023. Mitchelstown were first to with a white flag from

Jimmy Sheehan, Shane Beston (0-2) and Sean Walsh had points in between two white flags for the

opposition to leave the score 0-4 to 0-2 after 16 minutes . Mitchelstown then seemed to go to sleep

and five unanswered points over an eight minute period with a solitary reply from P McGee to leave

the half time score 0-5 to 0-7 in favour of the opposition .Na Piarsaigh opened the scoring with a

white flag which was cancelled out by a Leon Murphy point. Two points from Shane Beston and P

McGee had the sides level entering the last quarter. A Na Piarsaigh goal from play proved to be the

crucial score and even though the sides exchanged points followed by similar scores from Shane and

Pa the whistle came too soon. Team L Hannah,R Donegan,F Herlihy,K Roche,J O Sullivan,D Dineen,P

Well Done

Well done to Cathail O Mahony even though on the losing side he was one of Cork’s better players

and finished up with 0-3 to his credit against a strong Dublin side. I believe he Is the first

Mitchelstown player to play senior intercounty football championship in Croke P ark in 55 years.
