A hard earned win for our third team completed a great opening round weekend of hurling action with all teams securing maximum points. Conditions were excellent in Farmleigh as our lads won with the help of a late wonder goal from William Murphy as he stole in behind the home sides defence to send a left hand rocket of a shot to the top right hand corner of the net. The goal was crucial as it changed the course of this game as Marshalstown looked the likely winners at that time in the game. Late points from Robbie Donnelly and his uncles Ed and Morgan Rowesome eventually put daylight between the teams. Best on the day were Adam Dunne in goal, Dec Kelly and Barry Miller in the backs, James Donohoe at midfield with Ed Rowesome, Tomas O Leary and Robbie Donnelly the pick of the fowards. Team; Adam Dunne, Murt Sweeney, Barry Miller, Keith Swaine, Podge Stafford, Dec Kelly, Colin Hawkins,Micheal Stafford, James Donohoe, Ed Rowesome(0-7), Tomas O Leary(0-1), Robbie Donnelly(0-1), Morgan Rowesome(0-1), Micheal Somers, Ciaran Fenlon(0-1). Sub; William Murphy(1-0) for M Somers.
