June 21, 2025

Summerhill's Diarmuid McCabe

Summerhill 3-14 Dunboyne 2-14

Summerhill travelled to Dunboyne, in search of two much wanted points in the ninth round of the AFL Division 1.

Dunboyne bagged two goals in a row in the first ten minutes of the game,much to the horror of the large crowd of Summerhill supporters. This, however, didn't drop the heads of a lively Summerhill team. Eamonn McDonnell, Diarmuid McCabe and Bobby O'Shea each scored goals of their own between the eleventh and fifteenth minutes of the half. Both teams each scored a range of impressive points during the 2nd quarter of the game.

Half time: Summerhill 3-07 Dunboyne 2-06

The second half saw an early Dunboyne black card, which greatly benefited the Summerhill side. Summerhill continued to tip over scores, taking advantage of a fourteen man Dunboyne side. The 'Hill survived a late Dunboyne surge of scores to win the game by a single goal.
