Big win for St. John's

Senior Football League Division 1

St. John's 6-9 Coolera/Strandhill 0-5

Our Senior team had a comprehensive win on Sun against a depleted Collera /Strandhill team in Ransboro on a scoreline of 6-9 to 0-5. St Johns with a strong midfield partnership of Oisin Cox and Shane Stenson dominated the first 20 min and the forwards took full advantage with a plentiful supply of good ball. Thomas Kelly, Ross Gordon and Fiacra Grennan all helped themselves to goals while Ian Rossiter bagged 2 goals one a delightful chip to the top corner of the net.

The game was more evenly contested in the second half but the St John's defence were well on top throughout so there was no way back for the opposition. Enda Roche , Eoin Flanagan and Neal Hayes dominated this sector as the game reached its conclusion.
