Seniors V St Vincents. We got off to a whirlwind start with 2 goals within10 minutes. With excellent attaching movements Aodhan Clabbly got the first and Donnacha Carey the second. However a bit of sloppy defensive play allowed Vins in for a goal. We took command of the game again with a well worked goal by Joe Sweeney and with points by Oisin Grady and Nick Deveroux it gave us a commanding lead of 3-5 to 1-4 at half time. Vins kicked the first two points of the second half before we got our fourth goal. It was a strong run through the middle by Fearghal Duffy and a lay off to Rory Morrin who hand passed it to the net. Our fifth goal was scored by Donnacha Carey who after a strong run brilliantly finished it to the net leaving us 12 points up. Vins got a goal from a very generously awarded penalty to leave the final score 5-8 to 2-8.
