- County Senior Football Championship
De La Salle 0-14 St. Saviours 0-4
Our senior footballers got their championship campaign off to the best possible start when they produced an excellent performance to come away with a fine win over St. Saviours in Walsh Park last Sunday in what was a sporting encounter throughout.
We had first use of the wind and a point from Colm Morris and two frees from Ian Cantwell had us ahead 0-3 to 0-0 after eleven minutes. St. Saviours opened their account in the 16th minute but further points from Mitchell Casey (2), Colm Morris and David Kennedy had us ahead 0-7 to 0-1 after twenty four minutes. St. Saviours then pointed twice but Ian Cantwell replied with a free in injury time to see us ahead 0-8 to 0-3 at the interval.
The second half was scoreless until the 12th minute when Ian Cantwell pointed another free which was followed immediately by a Stephen Walsh point. St. Saviours pointed a free in the 15th minute. They missed a few more chances before we took control again and four points in the final ten minutes from Lee Hayes, Mitchell Casey and Ian Cantwell (2) secured the win for our lads.
Scorers: Ian Cantwell 0-6 (0-5 frees), Mitchell Casey 0-3, Colm Morris 0-2, David Kennedy, Stephen Walsh and Lee Hayes 0-1 each.
