By Fionn McGrath

The ball has been thrown in and the match is under way. Straight away Coláiste Choilm are on the attack and get the opening point of the match. P O’Moore plays a wonder pass over the top into T Cunningham who misses narrowly. Coláiste Choilm give away a free on the 13-yard line and they pop it over to make it a point to a point.

As the game went on things got more interesting. H Dunne with a great clearing tackle to get it out of our half. S Heffernan with a brilliant hand pass to Jayden Daly who misses by the smallest margin. J Conlon with an outstanding tackle and run to offload to C Minnock for him to play it into J Daly to win a free which goes wide. Their kick-out goes long to their wing forward who makes a brilliant run to get a goal. A point from T Cassidy off a brilliant run by Minnock and A Cummins to make it 1-1 to 0-3 points.

S Heffernan turns over their kick out to pop it over from way downtown. J Daly goes down hard and gets a penalty! He steps up to take it, but the keeper guessed correctly to stop the goal. The ball is kicked out to D Galvin who scores a fantastic point. A worldie of a ball by S Heffernan to T Cunningham who slots it home to make it 1-3 to 1-1 to Coláiste Choilm. Back and forth and Mullingar are the ones to get the score.

1-2 to 1-3 to Coláiste Choilm, another fantastic ball by S Heffernan who is having the game of his life into T Cassidy who gets bottled up but plays it out to T Cunningham for his second goal of the day. A Mangan got the next kick out and coolly converted it. A ball landed into the square that gets pulled on by J Daly to go over the bar. 2-5 to 1- 3 to Coláiste Choilm.

A Mangan gets a brilliant ball played to him; he makes a solo run all up the centre who slots it home for another goal. And the second half starts. Coláiste Choilm win the throw up but kick it away. A Mangan with a solo run to pass off to J Daly for another score of his. He’s on fire.

Sam Heffernan with a fantastic goal. Mullingar work it nicely thorough the hands and get the ball over the bar. Small mistake by Humphrey and they run it back at us for their second goal. D Conway gets a masterclass goal. Small mistake and Minnock comes off for 10-minutes and we play with fourteen men by accident. E Byrne gets the ball from F Connolly who plays to C Minnock who makes a fantastic run and gets another goal. To make it 7-7 to 2-4 to Coláiste Choilm.

Heffernan with another goal and chips it over the goalkeeper. D O’Shea gets a magical score from the worst angle. Conlon gets up for the high ball and wins a free. 7-8 to 2-4. Coláiste give away a penalty. But no flies on C Humphrey to save it! Soon after Mullingar run it back to get their third goal. Second third is over, and the score is 7-8 to 3-4 to Coláiste Choilm.

Cusack who gets the ball and lays it off to Tom lynch who barely misses. Rigney with a savage score. We are turning over their puck outs for fun the lads are outstanding, Billy Heffernan is popping ball over the bar like they’re hot potatoes while F Connolly playing brilliantly who gives it to D Conway for his point. Lynch with a chance at goal but blocked by the fullback.

Mullingar make many attempts, but Daly-Kane and Conlon are awake and ready. Fionnan Connolly with another savage run which just drops short into the goalkeeper gloves. Mullingar get a score from some nice passes and footwork. Mullingar work it again for another point. Coláiste Choilm are making great runs up the middle, wings and all over just can’t get the scores we deserve. Game all over, final score 8-12 to 4-12 Coláiste Choilm won.
