\u00c9ire \u00d3g: 0-15 (0-2-11)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newcestown: 1-11 (1-0-11)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g took another step towards safety as Daniel Goulding struck the winner to edge past Newcestown in the McCarthy Insurance Group Division 1 Football League at Ovens on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

The Muskerry side have now put back-to-back victories together and move to seven points from eight games with just one round remaining. They are now joint-sixth with St Finbarr’s.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g showed the same panache that marked their away win over Carbery Rangers nearly a fortnight ago, and they did it without Darragh Clifford, who was tied up with Cork commitments.<\/p>\n

They led by two at the interval, but a draw looked likely until Goulding stepped up once more, converting a free in front of goal \u2014 a decision that irritated Newcestown, who felt the award was soft.<\/p>\n

Newcestown remain on eight points after suffering only their second defeat of the league campaign. Carthach Keane, who plays for Newcestown and coaches \u00c9ire \u00d3g, was present but very much a bystander.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g started brightly with points from a Chris Kelly 45 and Johnny Galvin. In Newcestown\u2019s first meaningful attack after six minutes, Luke Meade was denied what looked a certain goal, with Michael Corkery doing brilliantly on the line.<\/p>\n

Luke Meade did get Newcestown moving with a fisted point, but two quick-fire scores pushed \u00c9ire \u00d3g 0-4 to 0-1 ahead after 13 minutes.<\/p>\n

Newcestown then took control for the next spell, with Colm O\u2019Donovan and Eoghan Collins seeing a world of ball. The Carbery men led 1-4 to 0-5 with nine minutes to the break, Jack Meade finishing powerfully to the net after a splendid Humphrey Canty pass. Canty also clipped over a sweet point during that scoring run.<\/p>\n

An unorthodox orange flag from Donncha Kelly levelled matters before Mark Griffin nudged \u00c9ire \u00d3g back in front. Luke Meade replied for Newcestown to leave the sides deadlocked again on 0-8 to 1-5 after 27 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g finished the half strongly, with points from Daire McCarthy and Jack Murphy sending them in 0-10 to 1-5 ahead.<\/p>\n

Eoin Fehily\u2019s side continued in the same vein on the restart. Chris Kelly knocked over another 45 seconds after Jerome Kelleher might have rattled the net. A close range Eddie Kenneally free kept Newcestown in touch, and Canty soon cut the gap to the minimum.<\/p>\n

A two-point free from Goulding restored a 0-13 to 1-7 cushion after 41 minutes, but a pair of scores from the evergreen Tadhg Twomey left just one between them again.<\/p>\n

The teams traded points until Jack Meade levelled with six minutes remaining. The next score didn\u2019t arrive until added time, when Goulding tapped over a free \u2014 ultimately the winner despite Newcestown\u2019s late push.<\/p>\n
