St.Nicholas 0-8 v Stabannon Parnells 1-12

Ht 0-5 v 1-8

Stabannon took the two points and outright lead in division 3b on Sunday morning in Jimmy Pentony Park. The visitors were impressive in the first half restricting the nicks to a Caebhan Housidari point and four Fionn Meagher frees, whilst registering 1-8 themselves and a six point lead at the break.

The nicks will rue some wasted opportunities in the second half. A much tighter half with defences on top. Another Meagher free and two paudi Downey points was added to St.Nicholas' total but the Parnells had too much of a lead from the first half.
