U-16 League Final Report - Courtesy of Danny Corbett U-16’s claimed the division three league title at a sunny Tuam Stadium on Tuesday evening. The final score-line read 4-10 to 3-9. Headford travelled with just fifteen players so it was just as well they were playing 13-a-side. The opening quarter was fairly tame as we trailed 1-1 to 0-3. Our scores came from Cathal Newell (2) and the lively and well tanned Luke Costello. Just minutes after a Cathal Newell penalty hit the crossbar, we got the break we needed. James O Brien sent a skyscraper into the Williamstown goalmouth which the goalie fumbled and Cathal was on hand to send it to the back of the net. Danny Shaughnessy’s hard work paid off as he split the posts and with half time approaching we got our second goal. Conor O Malley, who was outstanding throughout, broke up a Williamstown attack and sent the ball long to our forwards where Luke Costello was on hand to rattle the onion bag. This meant we faced the second half with a 2-4 to 1-3 lead. We started the second half well with points from Luke and James but Williamstown weren’t willing to give up and they soon had the lead reduced to just two points. However Headford hit a purple patch and scored 2-4 to lead 4-10 to 2-7 with time running out. These scores came from Jack Fleming (1-1), Danny Shaughnessy (0-1), Cathal Newell (0-2) and Luke Costello (1-0). Williamstown finished strong but it wasn’t enough. Well done to the management of Declan Newell and Rory Corbett and all the players on this great achievement. Team- Darren Higgins, Conor O Malley, Sean Moran, Niall Keane, Dylan Cunningham, Geoffrey Corbett, James O Brien (0-1), Jack Fleming(1-1), Kevin Dooley, Cathal Newell(1-4), Danny Shaughnessy(0-2), Luke Costello(2-2), Darragh Moran.
