St. Colmcilles 2-11

These 2 teams played on a warm Saturday evening and produced a good display of end to end football, the visitors caught Dunderry on the hop and opened the scoring with a point after 1 min but the home side drew level with a well taken point from a Trevor Conaty free.

The home team went on to open a 3 point lead with score from Conaty, J.P. Kennelly but the visitors pulled it back too 1 point. Thomas Doherty was strong in midfield winning lots of high balls and one of the clearances he won and fed half forward Mickey Dowdall who ran at the defence drew in the defender and slipped a pass to Peter Casey who fired over a fine point. Dowdall got in on the scoring with points in the 24th and 29th mins followed by points from Kennelly and Conaty to leave the half time score 0-9 to 0-6 to the home side.
