Navan O’Mahony’s 2-06 Slane 1-17

Slane got the better of Navan O’Mahony’s in this Div 3B FL encounter played in Slane, with the home side proving to have too much in the tank.

The hosts opened the scoring after less than forty seconds, kicking a well-taken point. A free from Ben Forde in the fourth minute was the first for Navan O’Mahony’s. A quiet ten minute period followed, with no scores in this time.

It was Slane who kicked off the scoring again, with the sides then exchanging points over the next few minutes. Adam McEvoy and Ciaran Vaughan were the Navan O’Mahony’s scorers. More points and a goal in the 27th minute put Slane to the fore while McEvoy and Jack Flynn scored for Navan O’Mahony’s in the closing ten minutes.

The fifth minute of the second half saw Slane extend their advantage to six points. It was down to a three point game in the eleventh minute once again when Flynn broke through the Slane defence and rattled the net. 

Slane managed an insurance point which meant they were still ahead when Flynn found the net again five minutes later. Recovering well, the hosts added seven points in the following ten minutes, leaving them very much in control of the game.

Forde added his side’s only point of the half in the twenty-sixth minute but the game was over as a contest at this stage. The home side put another two scores on the board and ran out as comfortable winners.

Navan O’Mahony’s: Niall Devlin, Eimhin Power, Shane Crosby, Evan Murtagh, Hugo Fitzherbert, Ciaran Vaughan (0-01), Jamie Murray, Jack Walsh, Jack Flynn (2-01), Conor McEvoy, Ian Matthews, Tom Collins, Ciaran Fitzsimons, Ben Forde (0-02), Adam McEvoy (0-02)
