Division 3 v Bunbrosna

After draws with St Joseph’s and Multyfarnham, and defeats to Killucan and Maryland in our previous four outings, we finally registered our first win in Division 3 of the All-County League against Bunbrosna last Saturday evening.

With the sun shining at MJS Builds St James’ Park, a strong start laid the foundations for a 3-8 to 0-10 victory. Padraig Carton and Darragh Coffey scored goals either side of points from Danny Scully and Conor Delaney (two) to leave us 2-3 to 0-1 up at the end of the first quarter. The visitors fought back in the second quarter, but we still led by 2-5 to 0-5 at the break thanks to further points from Delaney and James Finnegan.

We resumed with a point from Delaney and another major from Carton to extend our advantage. Scully slotted two more points from play before Bunbrosna narrowed the gap with a late brace.

Team: Niall Rabbitte; Martin Ward, James Fox, Colin Draper; Conor Carroll, Brendan McMahon, Mark Wrafter; Darragh Coffey, Joey O’Neill; Danny Scully, Conor Delaney, Micheál Coffey; James Finnegan, Padraig Carton, Cathal Finn.
