Red Hughs GAA News
Senior Men
On a perfect evening for football the Red Hughs hosted Pettigo in the opening game of their championship. With the Reds not having a win in the league so far this season the Pettigo lads were hopeful of an upset. The home side opened the scoring in the 2nd minute with a pointed free from Damien Browne. Damien made it two a minute later before Paul Murphy pointed for the visitors. The Pettigo men equalised in the 9th minute from a free from Paul Robinson. Gary Kelly made a surging run forward to end up on the end of a great move to tap over to put the Reds a pint up again before Robinson tied it up again from a free kick. In the 15th minute Calvin Bradley fired the ball to the net finishing off a great move. Two minutes later Colm Melaugh had the ball in the net for the Reds second goal to fire the home side 2-3 to 0-3 in front. Another free from Paul Robinson in the 22nd minute was to be Pettigo’s last score of the half. Thomas Mc Menamin and Calvin Added two more for the Reds Before the break. Half time score Red Hughs 2-5 Pettigo 0-4
The Killygordon lads took the game to Pettigo right from the throw in of the second half. Calvin Bradley was on fire and added another 2 points to the Reds tally. Robinson and Ciaran Mc Ghee pointed for Pettigo before Bradley got his second goal of the game after cutting through the Pettigo defence. A free from Damien Browne and two from Colm Melaugh opened the gap further. To Pettigo’s credit they never gave up and kept plugging away Kevin Kane and Robinson added 3 more before the Reds took total control and finished the game strong with scores from Damien Browne,Veteran PJ Gallagher and 2 from Colm Melaugh put the gloss on a great performance from the home side.

Minor Boys
The minor boys were in action tonight in their first game of the division 2 championship group stage. In difficult conditions both teams were finding it difficult to keep control the ball. The Red Hughs lads started the game brightly and were 4 points to no score up after ten minutes. The Mc Cumhaills lads gradually got themselves into the game and narrowed the gap to 2 points.By the end of the first half The Reds had restored their 4 point advantage Red Hughs 0-7 Mc Cumhaills 0-3
The Reds took the game to Mc Cumhaills in the opening ten minutes of the second half but were wasteful in front of goal. Mid way through the second half Mc Cumhaills were reduced to 14 losing a player due to dissent. But as happens regularly seemed to raise their game and rallied to the end of the game. A goal line clearance from Micheal Mc Colgan proved vital at the end of the game. The Final score was Red Hughs 0-11 Mc Cumhaills
The lads now play Burt away from home next Monday evening.
