Ballymac 1 – 15 Scartaglin 0 – 9.
Our Senior team secured two valuable Co. League Points on Saturday evening last with a 9 point victory away to Scartaglin. It was the home side who started the better and had 3 points on the board by the 5th minute. Our lads then started to dominate and came back into the game with a succession of scores the pick of which was a superb point from a side line by Genie Griffin. Indeed but for some good saves by the Scart goalkeeper we would have been further ahead at half time at which stage Ballymac led on a score of 0 – 10 to 0 – 5.
Our lads started the second half in a determined fashion and 4 Padraig McCarthy points (2 frees) and 1 from Genie Griffin extended the lead to 10 points. Scart hit back with 2 points of their own but Padraig McCarthy sealed the victory with a goal with 10 minutes remaining. Some resolute defending by TJ Casey, Con Reynolds and Denis Leen ensured no way back for the Scart lads. We used our full compliment of subs which included Jonathan Brick making his senior team debut.
