Well we won the semi final today. The game finished 2-9 to 1-11 in our favour so we are through to the final against Killeshandra. Killeshandra beat Cornafean in the match before ours. We didn't get to see it and I don't even know what the score was.
Our match was a closely fought affair. We scored first, through a free, but then there was a long break before the next score. We were ahead at half time by 2 points, 0-7 to 0-5. In the second half, Arva came out storming and got a penalty which they scored. We were on the back foot then, behind by a one and points were traded before we got our first goal through Enda McHugh. A long ball went in and he punched it in past the keeper. He got another goal soon after that after some intricate play and lots of passes. Somehow he managed to chip the keeper from only a few metres out and that set us up.
To us it seemed that the referee wanted a draw, but after coming under fierce pressure and forcing Arva to shoot wide we pulled through by one.
I was playing centre half back for the entire match, which is an odd one for me, as I usually end up being moved around the pitch depending on how things are going in other positions. I was reasonably happy with my performance, except for a couple of balls in the first half that I really should have at least attempted to get.
So it's back to training now for another three weeks before the big one.
