Who is going to win the County Final.
There is only one question in Mohill and Ballinamore this week. Who is going to win the county final on Sunday?. No one is sticking their neck out and saying one team or the other. If truth be told , I am very nervous about the big game on Sunday which is unusual for me.
Last year in the match programme I stuck my neck out and predicted the result when I stated,
Should Mohill score two goals or more and keep Carrick goalless, Mohill will win.
If Carrick can keep Keith Beirne scores to 1-4 ( seven points) or less, Carrick will win.
Final score Mohil 2-10 St Mary’s 0-14.
Keith Beirne per the official score sheet scored 0-5. (Some say he scored the goal but Jordan got the credit) .
So I was half right. I did not predict Ronan Kennedy, the ‘Chick’ doing his county final trick, and scoring 1-3.
And so to Sunday next. What do the facts say?.
In the semi finals both teams scored 0-12 each.
Ballinamore scorers were, Tom Prior 0-6, Paul Honeyman 0-4, Wayne McKeon & Shane Moran 0-1 each. Two players got 83% of scores.
Mohil scorers were, Keith Beirne 0-6, Keith Keegan & Fiachra McGuinness 0-2 each, Jordan Reynolds & Domhnall Flynn 0-1 each. Three players got 83% of the scores.
In summary whichever group combined ( Tom Prior, Paul Honeyman) or ( Keith Beirne, Keith Keegan, Fiachra McGuinness) get the most scores will win the match. The game can be decided as simple as that. Tom Prior is the form forward at the moment and had a huge influence on the semi final win. Keith Beirne is just back from America and his first half performance just got Mohill over the line. He ran out of gasoline as they say, so a big factor on Sunday is how much his fitness has improved in two weeks. Jordan Reynolds is also back from America and getting back to match fitness also, so big performances are needed from these two county players. No doubt both team managements have all their strategies worked out to stop the opposition from scoring.
Ballinamore have home advantage which is massive for a county final. They are playing down this advantage, but it is real. Based on the semi finals, Ballinamore’s performance was more controlled than Mohill’s and reflected their tougher route to the semis.
So will the Fenagh Cup be in Gay Prior’s or O Callaghans on Sunday night.
On all known form it looks like Priors, unless Mohill produce their best county final performance ever and overcome all the odds.
As a Mohill supporter I am hoping Mohill find another ‘chick’ to do his magic trick.
See you there!
