The second Junior White’s Cross side had a fine win over Brian Dillons and a draw with St. Nicks. In the Dillons game Dave Buckley, introduced to fullback after injury to regular Robert O Brien, had a strong grip on the Dillons forwards along with William Casey, Paul O Donovan and Paul Finnegan, for the first fifty minutes. At the other end Colin Lawless, Paul Noonan and Philip O’ Connell tacked on the scores to see us lead 1-12 to 1-4 with ten minutes remaining. However complacey set in to let the Dillons lads in for two late goals, for us to win in the end by just two points.
The following week a late goal proved of greater consequence as the last minute strike saw Nicks share the spoils with us. In this encounter the performances of Jason Kelly, Ritchie Fitzgerald and Derek O Connor were particularly pleasing from a White’s Cross viewpoint
