St Ultans 2-19 Ballinlough 0-7

St Ultans played their final group match in the Tailteann Cup on Tuesday evening and came away with the points after a strong team display.

Within forty five seconds of referee Ian Dowdall throwing in the ball Ultans raised a green flag thanks to a strong run and finish from wing back Tommy Buchanan, he would repeat the act after twenty minutes. The Ultans forwards were accurate from the boot also with points from Adam Rogers, Ruairi Buchanan, Luke Cahill, Martin Dolan and Conor Finnegan on his first competitive start. Resolute defending ensured a comfortable half time score of 2-08 to 0-04.

Early scores from Rogers and placed balls from Ruairi Buchanan stretched the lead further, Ballinlough rallied and closed the gap but strong defence limited the damage and the away side finished strongly with scores from Ruairi Buchanan, Oisin Durcan and Darren Mallon.

Next up for St Ultans is Longwood in the opening round of the Leagues and the Reserve team travel to Carnaross.
