Moylagh 0-14 Drumconrath 0-07
Played in Kilmainham on Sunday afternoon Moylagh made it two wins from two games of the junior A championship.
Moylagh lead from pillar to post with Darren Gibney getting the ball rolling after two minutes scoring Moylagh's first point,
By the seventh minute Moylagh lead by three points to no score thanks to Sean Reilly & Tommy O Reilly. Drumconrath opened their account on the tenth minute and after this any Moylagh attack ended in a free resulting in Tommy O Reilly kicking five more frees in the first half, leaving Moylagh leading by five points at half time 0-8 to 0-3.
The second half started with Sean Reilly kicking three quick points to stretch out Moylagh's to eight points. Drumconrath kicked the next four points as Moylagh seemed let them back in to the game for a short period before kicking the last three scores for a somewhat comfortable win that never really looked in doubt, thanks to the performances of Kevin Foley, Darren Gibney, Jimmy Boyle, Joe Meila, Sean and Tommy Reilly

Drumconrath Report
Moylagh 0-14 Drumconrath 0-7
Drumconrath made a big improvement on last weeks display but still went under to last year's JFC Finalists Moylagh. The concession of 6 scoreable free's in the 1st half gave wind assisted Moylagh a 0-8 to 0-3. Drumconrath had their fair share of possession with Robert McEntaggert pointing twice and Stephan Crosby also getting on the score board.
Drums had a number of goal chances early in the 2nd half with both Terry Skelly and Gavin Finnegan unlucky to see shots tail wide and when Moylagh pointed on their 1st 3 attacks to lead 0-11 to 0-3 it looked bleak for Drumconrath.
Drumconrath rallied and points from Crosby, Skelly and 2 from Gavin Finnegan had Moylagh looking over their shoulders as the gap was now down to 4 points with 15 minutes to go. An injury to a Moylagh players gave them time to gather themselves and while Drumconrath continued to press all they had was a number of wides and a shout for a foot block penalty waved away.
Moylagh settled and added three injury time points to give them a deserved but some what flattering win.
Drumconrath; Eoin Muldoon; David O'Halloran, Patrick Dunne, Robert McEntaggart (0-2); Cathal Dunne, Terry Skelly (0-1), Peter Tighe; Tomas Conlon, Sean McMahon; Derek Duff, Stephan Crosby (0-1), Gavin Finnegan (0-2); Patrick Farrelly, Graham Tighe, Cathal McEvoy. Subs; Niall Martin for McEvoy, James McMahon for G Tighe.
