MC ELVANEY’S WASTE & RECYCLING INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Donaghmoyne 2-20, Aughnamullen 1-7.
Following their narrow defeat by Inniskeen last time out Donaghmoyne got back to business as they almost cantered to this comfortable if not comprehensive 16 points victory over a very disappointing Aughnamullen in this quite one sided affair in Inniskeen on Friday evening last. Donaghmoyne in fact had this game more or less wrapped up by the halfway stage when they led by 13 points as Aughnamullen just failed to function and never really got established in the game at any stage. Donaghmoyne’s cause was greatly helped with an early goal from a penalty after just 7 minutes and with David Garland in fine form up front, along with Padraig Donaghy and Ronan McDonald in particular, they possessed a greater range of artillery and had Aughnamullen on the back foot right from the off. Aughnamullen put in an improved effort in the second-half but even when Donaghmoyne were reduced to 14 players with the dismissal of Padraig Donaghy on a 2nd yellow card, they made little inroads into Donaghmoyne’s dominance although a late goal by Paul Connolly did put some respectability on the final score line.
