Blackhall gaels blitz omahonys with secondhalf goals

Three goals in quick succession set Blackhall Gaels up for a convincing 3-10 to 0-6 victory over Navan O'Mahonys in the SHC at Kilmessan this evening. 

Played before just a handful of spectators this game sparked into life when the Gaels hit second-half goals from Dermot Carty, Johnny Meyler and Niall Mangan to secure the win. All the goals were scored within nine minutes. 

A day to forget for O'Mahonys was completed in the dying seconds when David 'Duggie' Dillon picked up a second yellow card and was sent off by referee Marcus Quinn. 

The sides were even throughout the opening half but the Gaels found an extra gear in the second-half. 

Meyler finished as Blackhall Gaels' top marksman with 1-6. 

O'Mahonys main source of points was John Foley who fired over three from frees but they could only manage two from play scored by Kevin O'Rourke and Donal Hogan.
