Curraha 1 – 9, Wolfe Tones 3 – 8.

Curraha suffered their second defeat in the Feis Cup when losing out to Wolfe Tones by five points on Saturday afternoon. Playing with the aid of a strong wind Wolfe Tones dominated the first half and held a twelve point advantage at half time on a score line of 3 – 5 to 0 – 2. Sean Keogh and Conor Moriarty scored Curraha’s points from placed balls.

In a much improved second half display Curraha outscored the County Champions by 1 – 7 to 3 points and but for a few missed opportunities the final margin could have been a lot closer. Jack O’Connor scored the home sides first point of the second half. Conor Moriarty added a pointed free before Brian Joyce finished the ball to the Wolfe Tones net. Full back Niall Murphy, who had a very good game, got forward to score two excellent points. Two more frees from Moriarty and O’Connor and a fine long-range score from substitute Seamus Hogan concluded the scoring for Curraha.
