St. Vincent’s 2-9 Donnaghmore/Ashbourne 1-4

St. Vincent’s made the short trip to Ashbourne for the last game in the division before the knockout stages and a win guaranteed a semi-final.  It was a comfortable 8 point win for the Ardcath men in the finish.

The first half began with 4 unanswered points from St. Vincent’s. Two apiece for Robbie Lynch and Conor Early. It wasn’t until the 22 minute that Ashbourne found the target after a few bad wides.  Eoin Hand got the Vincent’s next point to put four between them again but Ashbourne scored the last two points of the half to leave it 0-5 to 0-3 at the break.

The second half began with a Robbie Lynch free which was answered by Ashbourne in the 8th minute.  An excellent point from Conor Early in the 9th minute put the Vincent’s 3 up and looking in control until a mix up at the back in the 11th minute let Ashbourne in for a goal to level it.  But just before the water break a cross ball was met in the square by the inrushing Micheál Tallon to put the score 1-7 to 1-4 at the second water break.

The last quarter was all Vincent’s with points from Robbie Lynch and Conor Early either side of an Eoin Hand goal.
