Curraha 3-09  Seneschalstown 4-12

Curraha rounded off their 2018 league campaign with a loss after travelling down to local side Senchalstown in this nothing Division 2 finale.

Curraha were very slow out of the blocks and the home side had racked up 1-03 before Jack O'Connor opened the scoring for his side with a free. This was responded with a second goal for the home side before a well taken point from Neil Shortall doubled his sides tally. A pointed effort dropped short and ended up going in for a goal to give Senchalstown their third major. Curraha finally got into second gear after a sluggish start and David Coyle done extremely well to raise the green flag. He followed this up with a point before O'Connor added his second free. Points were traded soon after and Senchalstown had a 3-05 to 1-05 advantage at the break.

Points were traded inside the opening minutes before a Mark Jackson goal gave Curraha some hope. O'Connor got a fine score from open play then to leave three in it. That was as closest Curraha could get to the experienced side as they added 1-04 without reply to put the game beyond doubt. Credit to Curraha though as never gave up and a fine point from Conor O'Farrell was followed by a goal by Seamus Hogan. A late Shortall point finished proceedings with the Senchalstown outfit taking the points on offer.
