Crossmolina 2-0 Killala

A double strike by Michael Timlin earned Crossmolina a deserved 2-0 victory in their final league game of the season against Killala at Abbeytown. The youngster has had only a few opportunities to shine this year but this brace and another header that rebounded off the post will mark him down as one to watch for next season. The game itself was a dull affair with the long grass preventing any fluid passing movements. Crossmolina were well worth the 3 points while Killala posed very little threat to home goalie Michael Canavan. The opening goal arrived in the 20th minute after a surging run from Derek Greham which he finished with a pass to Eoin Syron on the edge of the square. Syron then whipped the ball across the face of the goal where Timlin was hovering to tap the ball home. Timlin later headed a Paul Flaherty cross onto the Killala upright as he obviously took a likening to Killala’s lax defending. An unremarkable second half culminated in Timlin’s second strike when he calmly slotted the ball under the advancing goalie after a fine pass from Greham in the 90th minute. The win placed Crossmolina in the middle of the final league table.
