Div 3 Arva 0-8 Baileboro 3-12

Arva had a home game against Bailieboro on Sunday last in the Division 3 League which they moved to the 3G Pitch in Kingspan Breffni Park. Due to the continuous rain our own field was unplayable and the 3G is busy on a full time basis. Arva were short a number of players – James Morris, David and Kevin Bouchier, Dermot and Fergal Mc Glade, Cian Sheridan, Paul Brady and two others were under the weather all week.

Pictured Above: Arva's Peter Morris taking a free.

The loss thru injury of Shane Finnegan at half time didn’t help the cause either. This was not an ideal situation for a game against a club that are more used to playing in Division 1 or 2 and the result was on the cards from early on in the second half. The final score was 3-12 to 0-8 in favour of the east Cavan side and in truth it reflected their overall superiority. A physically stronger team they also had pace and passion in abundance but the Arva players fought to the final whistle even though their cause was lost. Arva now have a few weeks to regroup and hopefully get all players back to fitness and with a full squad will look forward to the return game in Bailieboro. Then they will know how much progress they are making.

Arva team and scorers: John Kiernan, Stephen Ellis, Sean Mc Manus, Shane Finnegan, Alan Barry, Thomas Brady, Conor Mc Entee, Ciaran Brady (0-1), Jonathan Mc Cabe (0-1), Bryan Mc Entee, Gavin Doyle (0-1), Damien Simpson, Brian Ellis, Peter Morris (0-5), Conal Sheridan.

Sub’s – Niall Fox, Darren Gray, Ciaran Cooney, Raymond Daly, Paul Bouchier.
