Div 3 Reserve Arva 4-16 Redhills 4-12

Club News

Arva travelled to Redhills on Sunday morning last to play the home side in the Reserve League and came away with a great victory. It didn’t look that way in the first half as they struggled to come to terms with the game and at the interval Redhills held an 11 point lead – 4-8 to 1-6.

But after some tactical talk from Player Manager Raymond Brady at half time they were reinvigorated in the second half and won with 4 points to spare on a score Arva 4-16 Redhills 4-12. Not only did Arva score 3-10 in the second half they held Redhills to just 4 points and therein lay the reason for their victory. Every player put in a tremendous effort and it would be unfair to single out any individual as it was truly a team effort. To make matters worse for Arva at the start they only the 13 players needed to play the game and when one player got a slight hamstring injury he moved into full forward as there were no subs. Interestingly all the Arva forwards scored.

The other players who were eligible to play didn’t bother to travel or inform anyone that they would not be present. So to the following 13 players we say take a bow – you showed tremendous pride in your club and your jersey and to the others what can we say ??

Arva team and scorers – John Kiernan, Patrick Murtagh, Darren Gray, Paul Brady, Raymond Brady, Patrick Mulligan, Brian Fitzpatrick, Shane Mc Entee, Ciaran Brady (0-1), Peter Conneely (0-3), Dean Harrington (0-1), Raymond Daly (3-3), Jonathan Mc Cabe (1-8)
