McNaughton added another free for the ‘Dall.

Shamrocks 1-05 Ruairi Og Cushendall
1-06
Loughgiel got the
1st score of the half through Conor Christie. Christy McNaughton
added a point from play to put the ‘Dall up by point and when OD Laverty
squared the match it was all to play for.
Christy McNaughton lashed over a free, Michael Delargy picked up a pass
from Paddy Doherty and fired a rocket into the top right corner of the net to
put Ruairi Og up by 4.
Christy McNaughton
then scored another cracking point from play and when Paddy Doherty added
another, Cushendall were stretching away.
Pearse Bannon then got fouled and Christy McNaughton fired the 21 yard
free into the bottom corner of the net.
Conor Christie
stopped the rot when he fired over a point but Cushendall came back up the
field and Christy McNaughton gathered possession and beat 2 men and fired in a
wonderful goal and it was game over. Ruairi Kinney fired over a point for the
‘Dall, Christy McNaughton added another goal after a neat bit of skill, Ryan
McKee added Loughgiels final point of the day, Pearse Bannon added a point and there was still time for that man
McNaughton to score the final point of the day to leave the final score:
Loughgiel
Shamrocks 1-09 Ruairi Og Cushendall
5-13
Emmett Laverty was
assured in goals and in front of him, Stephen Walsh, Fergus McCambridge and
Cormac McClafferty were strong in defence.
Joe McCurry and Ryan Delargy battled well in midfield and up front Conor
Magee, Ruairi Kinney, Paddy Doherty, Pearse Bannon and Scoring Machine Christy
McNaughton were good but man of the match goes to Paddy Sharpe. He got over the recent blip in his
performances in spectacular fashion and never gave an inch to anybody that he
marked.
