Oldcastle return to winning ways

CORN NA BOINNE

After conceding 2-12 and losing to Trim the previous week Oldcastle matched that tally and claimed the Corn na Boinne victory over a Drumbaragh side that managed just 0-10.

A good first-half saw goals from Garrett O’Reilly and CJ Healy, combined with points and frees from Robbie Farrelly, boost Oldcastle to a 2-6 to 0-3 interval lead.

A Drumbaragh '45' opened the second-half scoring, but Farrelly and Pearse Sheridan stretched Oldcastle's lead further.

Drumbaragh responded with points, but they were matched by scores from Louis Colleran and Ronan Maguire as Oldcastle eased to the win.
