St.Nicholas 0-7 v Wolfe Tones 0-12

HT 0-4 v 0-5

Wolfe Tones leapfrogged their local rivals in the Div 3b table following a deserved victory in Jimmy Pentony Park on Saturday evening. In a tight first half it was the visitors who opened the scoring with two points from play, points from Caebhan Housidari and a Phillip Kirwan free had the nicks back to all square midway through the half. The Tones extended their lead to three with five minutes left in the half. St.Nicholas finished the half strongly with two well worked points from play from Shahin Housidari and Brian Carter to go in one behind at the break.
The Nicks had plenty of possession in the second half but couldn’t break down a resolute and organised Tones defence. The home team were restricted to three points, all by Fionn Meagher, two frees and one from play. Wolfe Tones forwards kept the scoreboard moving all through the second half resulting in a well earned five point win and second place in the table.
