Click here for images of the AHL 1 clash v Na FiannaIt was onwards and upwards for the seniors in their AHL1 tie with Na Fianna, part of a double header at Silverpark on Wednesday evening 23rd June 2011.  Against a strong breeze and playing into the Sunshine Home end Crokes went in at half time on par, 1-5 apiece.  After the resumption a Donal McGovern goal formed the platform for the eventual 2-10 to 1-9 win with the aforementioned Donal, Brian Hanamy, the scorer of the first half major, Ross O’Carroll, making his seasonal debut at centre back, and Aodhan de Paor most prominent.

Part 2 of the double header, the intermediates AHL3 clash with St Sylvesters did not go so well.  Trailing by three points at the interval, 1-4 to 0-4, against the wind, the Stillorgan men looked in a relatively strong position.  However, they were undone by the concession of three second half goals and ultimately lost out by 4-11 to 2-7.For more, including photos, see HERE

 

The second consecutive wet evening of the week, Tuesday 21st June 2011, produced a narrow 1-8 to 0-11 win for the Junior E’s in AHL8 at Sean Moore Park over table toppers Clanna Gael.  At the end a of low scoring first half the Ringsend men led 0-6 to 1-2.  Digging deep Crokes admirably found the wherewithal to prevail thanks to a late point from Neal Martin, who was the pick of the forwards.  In a defence the formed the basis for the win Paddy Tighe, the exceptional Ciaran McIntyre, his brother Niall and veteran Adrian Crean reigned supreme.  For report see HERE
