Their movement and accuracy consistently troubled the Trim defence.

Drumree’s attacking dominance was further highlighted by first-half contributions from Sean Kilcoyne, who raised a green flag alongside a trio of points, helping his side to a commanding 1-14 to 0-2 lead at the break.

Drumree continued to control proceedings in the second half, maintaining their intensity while introducing fresh legs from the bench. Substitutes made a positive impact in sustaining the tempo, with scores continuing to come from across the team.
