St.Nicholas 4-5 v Annaghminnon Rovers 2-3

Ht 4-3 v 2-2


On a blustery Saturday evening in Jimmy Pentony Park St.Nicholas added another two points to their league tally. The Nicks, with the aid of a strong breeze, we're slow out of the blocks, Annaghminnon registering the first score from play. They extended their lead as Rovers hit the back of the net. A Phillip Kirwan point got the home team off the mark before Nicks corner forward Caebhan Housidari came to the fore with a hat-trick in the space of 15mins. St.Nicholas captain Brian Carter extended the lead late in the half following a fine team move which found him in space to fire past the visitors goal keeper. Annaghminnon cut the half time lead as they found the net for a second time.

Playing into the wind in the second half the Nicks  dominated possession. In a half where both defences were on top St.Nicholas restricted Annaghminnon to one point from a free while only adding two points to their own tally; a Fionn Meagher free and a Carter point.
