Joseph Kirk gave a great display in goals pulling off some fine saves.

Halfbacks Shane Burns and Matthew Kieran worked hard as their team took a decisive grip on the match. Grace Kieran was outstanding as usual in midfield winning possession along with Jordan Duffy. Ronan Mc Keown with a score of 1-2 won a lot of ball dominating his man and set up some great scores.
