Minor success for moynalty lads

Anthony Nevin scored eight points as Moynalty brought the MFC Div 5 Christy Reynolds Cup home from Navan this afternoon with a 1-15 to 1-10 victory against Kilbride.

This was a good test for the Moynalty boys who had to work hard to stay in touch in the opening half, but dictated the exchanges after the resumption with the benefit of the strong wind that favoured Kilbride in the first-half.

Kilbride were ahead by 1-6 to 0-6 at the interval, but 20 seconds after the resumption Moynalty were on level terms when Pete Rogers finished to the net after the ball broke kindly in the Kilbride square.

From that stage onwards it was fairly clear the Kilbride would struggle to regain the initiative and Moynalty, who lost Shaun Nevin to injury early in the second-half, survived a number of tough challenges from the KIlbride lads to win the title.
