The Big T! T-Shirt Time winners of the Mixed Gaelic Football Sevens, Jan-Feb, 2011
Two strong second half performances in the semi final and final proved decisive for T Shirt Time as they took victory in Wellington GAA’s first Mixed Gaelic Football Sevens tournament of the year last night at Ian Galloway Park, Wellington, New Zealand.
It was another fine evening for the folks in Wellington, not only weather wise, but that once more football was the big winner on the night. Two very exciting semi finals and another great game in the decider saw the large crowd enjoy another successful mixed sevens competition.
In the first semi, T Shirt Time shaded a close opening half with opponents Clonbony Abu but it was the T’s who stepped forward to grab 2 goals and 2 points in the early second half to steer them to a 7 point win. In the second semi final another cracker saw the Monster Munchers in a fierce battle with Molly Malones, but it was the ‘Munchers who claimed the spoils when Niamh Kennedy scored a brilliant individual goal with the last kick of the game.
In the final, another good start from T-Shirt Time saw them score a goal and brace of points inside five minutes but the ‘Munchers came right back into it when Dee Finn goaled and at half time they trailed by a pair of scores 7 (1-04) to 5 (1-02).
But it was the T’s who again showed well soon after the break as a goal and three points put them in pole position once more. The Monster Munchers tried hard to turn the game around but it was not to be as ‘Time pushed on for a 17 (2-11) to 10 (1-07) victory.
Here to tell us more about the semi finals and final, and the other games that took place on the night, is Wellington GAA Chairman, Donal Kavanagh.
