Our backs put in an outstanding display with Caolan Murphy and Gareth Brennan leading the way and our ever reliable goal keeper Lorcan Murphy kept everything including the kitchen sink from getting past him. Team on the evening included L Murphy, F McNally, C Murphy, D Moorehead, R McNally, G Brennan, K Duffy, L Savage (1-0), C Boyle (Capt.), C Renaghan (0-1), B Greenan (0-6, 4f), D McKeown, S Askin (1-0), A Curran (0-2), M O’Dowd (0-2).
