St. Michaels 2-13, Syddan 1-06

St. Michaels continued their winning ways in ideal playing conditions in Carlanstown on Thursday evening. This was truly a game of two halves which saw Syddan play all their football in the opening half kicking some fine scores to lead by three at the break, 1-3 to 0-3. Conor Gilsenan, Gearóid O'Malley and Shane McDonnell pointed for the home side. 

St. Michaels came to life in the second half and played attacking football of the highest standard, scoring 2-10 with their defence set up excellently making sure Syddan found it difficult to construct clear shooting opportunities and were unable to get their second half scoring off the mark until the 46th minute by which time Matthew Halpin, Davy Lynch, O'Malley and Gilsenan had all posted minors.
Then on the 48th minute Cathal Walsh got on the end of high ball on the 13 meter line and he applied a brilliant finish to the back of the Syddan net. Points followed from O'Malley and McFadden before Shane McDonnell sealed the points with a second major after a one-two with Cian McFadden. 

The St. Michaels lads finished off a good nights work with two excellent minors from top marksman on the night Gearóid O'Malley.
