St Vincents Curraha got their u19 league off to the perfect start with a comprehensive win over St Colmcilles at a chilly Pilltown on Monday night.

The winners lead from the start and although they played into a stiff breeze in the first half they held a commanding 3-4 to 0-5 lead at the interval. The three first half goals coming Jack Byrne a Conor Moriarty penalty and a well taken shot from Nigel Hand.

With the wind at their backs in the second half St Vincents Curraha managed to tag on a further 2-12 to run out comfortable winners. In fairness to the Cilles who lost a couple players to injury during the match they never gave up and they managed to add 1-4 to their first half tally.
