Dungourney secured a comprehensive victory over St. Colmcille’s in this Under 21 championship match played in Glenville on a bright but showery Sunday morning. The first half started with an early point for St. Colmcille’s, but Dungourney quickly responded and established a dominant lead. A goal from their wing forward in the 5th minute set the tone, and with Jack Leahy proving highly accurate from play and frees, Dungourney went into the halftime break with a significant 12-point advantage. The Half-Time Score read Dungourney 1-15 (18) to St. Colmcille’s 0-06 (6).
In the second half, St. Colmcille’s attempted to close the gap with Eddie Coughlan leading their scoring efforts. However, Dungourney’s momentum continued, highlighted by a remarkable goal from a sideline cut which deceived substitute goalkeeper Evan Quain. Despite a late flurry of points from St. Colmcille’s (2), including one from substitute Patrick Harrington, Dungourney’s lead was never under threat, and they ran out comfortable winners.
