Syddan travelled to Moynalty last Tuesday evening for the 1st Round of Division 9 League.

Half Time Syddan 0-11 Moynalty 0-5

Syddan was very slow to get into the game after the break and found themselves trailing by only the minimum with 15 minutes gone on the clock, as Moynalty started the second half with all cylinders firing and put 1-5 on the scoreboard with no reply. Syddan got back into their scoring form of the first half with a free from Cormac Dardis and a score from play from Josh McKenna. Moynalty got 2 more frees to put themselves 2 in front again with less than 10 minutes remaining. Substitute Cathal Dardis let a high ball into the square with the hopes of a 2-pointer but the ball dropped short and the goal keeper not having a firm grip on the ball, the green flag was raised, putting Syddan 3 in front again with the clock ticking on. Moynalty got another free to leave 2 between the teams. Syddan finished out strongly as Cathal followed up with another point from play, and a point each from Cillian Rafferty and Darren Smith in the closing stages, left the visitors leave with a 3 point win.
