St Colmcilles kept their winning start to 2015 going with a  5-10 to 1-11 win over Longwood in Round 1 of the Corn na Boinne last night. 

The win sees the Cilles advance to the quarter finals.

Meath Junior and current Waterford IT star, Ben Brennan hit 2-5 in an impressive performance whilst former county minor Ruairi O'Grady also hit 2-2 on the night leaving those in attendance wondering why he was not part of the current u21 panel.  With a strong wind at their backs, the Seasiders laid the foundation for the win with a 2-5 to 0-2 interval lead. 

The match also saw the return to action of Jamie McDonnell after a lengthy period out through injury and first appearances of the year for Daniel Murray, John Levins and Brian Mullen whilst 2014 minor captain, Shane Crilly made his first competitive start at this level.  

Next up for the Cilles is a home B league match v Nobber at 12:00 in the Seafield on Sunday and then senior side, Gaeil Colmcille visit on March 8th
