Another thrilling weekend of action has come to a close and Parnells number is still on the rise. On Saturday evening the Seniors maintained their recent good league form when beating Erins Isle 0-08 to 0-03. The scoreline doesnt reflect the dominance enjoyed by the 'Nells. The team are finding their feet in the top flight of Dublin football and can approach the opening round of the Senior Football Championship with confidence.
On Sunday morning the Junior 1 side made the short trip to play Craobh Chiarain in the Junior Football Championship. Playing with the wind at their backs in the opening half Parnells raced into a 0-10 to 0-03 lead by the break. Ian Brady and Stephen Duffy impressed throughout and although Chiarains got a goal early in the second half Parnells showed the composure to see the game out. Parnells 0-15 to Craobh Chairain 1-08.
Sunday afternoon saw the Junior 2 side face St. Brendans in Grangegorman in the Junior C Championship. The team showed a real mix of youth and experience, and they beat the elements, dubious decisions and strong opponents. 2-07 to 1-09. This was a magnificent result and by the final whistle true grit and determination had been key to the victory.
The Junior 3 side finally got their championship campaign off and running away to St. Peregrines and they ran out easy victors 3-16 to 0-08. The Dunleavy brothers skill and fitness were key and Tosh McEvoy rolled back the years to clip over 7 points.
Well done to all players and mentors on a brilliant weekend of results. A special thanks to all the supporters who made it out to the games. Don't forget to get out a roar on the hurlers this Thursday evening in Belcamp and St. Davids!!!
