Division 5 of the Wexford Football League produced a scoreline for the ages yesterday
While there is always something fascinating about really one-sided sporting contests (at least if your team isn’t on the wrong end of it) getting beaten to no score is even worse.
Poor old Cowdenbeath in Scotland suffered a 10-0 defeat the other week at the hands of Hearts, a result that propelled them to infamy, but we didn’t think we’d see a GAA scoreline that would be far, far worse just a fortnight later.
Whatever about a team running up 15-14, as Adamstown did at home to Clonee in Division 5 of the Wexford Football League yesterday, the fact that their opponent scored nothing (0-0) in reply is what makes this 59-point winning margin one for the ages.
In fairness to Clonee, it was two men who really did them damage. Ian Stafford’s 3-4 was huge but man of the match must surely go to Johnny Connors, who scored a scarcely believable 7-2 for the home side.
Nice to see what must be the father and son duo of James Furlong Snr and Jinr getting on the scoresheet too.
Cheers to the folks at JOE for the story
