Gary Ferry, 11 May
Christy Ring Cup
Derry 2-22
London 2-13
Derry bounced back from their defeat in Kildare with victory at a sunny
Owenbeg on Saturday afternoon.
Leading by a point after playing into the wind, the Oakleafers got a
handle on London ace Jack Goulding with Christy McNaughton’s goal
putting them in the driving seat.
Goalkeeper Oisin O’Doherty made a save late on to ensure Derry’s grip
on the game.
The Oaks got off to a flyer against a wasteful London with Corey
O’Reilly, John Mullan and Ruairi Ó Mianáin all on target.
A flicked goal from ace Jack Goulding got the visitors back into the
game, flicking Kevin Reid’s diagonal pass before Dylan Dawson point had
London 1-2 to 0-4 ahead after 12 minutes.
An Ó Mianáin goal levelled matters at 1-5 each before Sean Glynn ran
through for London’s second goal to put London back in the driving
seat.
It was Derry who finished the ball well with points from Cormac
O’Doherty, Ó Mianáin all on target before the latter scored for a 1-11
to 2-7 interval.
Paddy Kelly made a fine interception in front of Golding to start the
move that led to a Cormac O’Doherty point.
Derry’s defence began to get the upper hand but they were not able to
put London away and it took quick thinking from Corey O’Reilly to set
McNaughton up for the goal that opened a 2-16 to 2-11 lead with 10
minutes to play.
Kelly, substitute Paul Cleary and O’Reilly all tagged on points to seal
the Derry victory.
Derry will conclude with a trip to Sligo knowing that a win is a must
while a London home win would leave qualification for the final down to
score difference.
