Antrim Football League Division 1

Naomh Eanna 2-12 St Brigid’s 1-7

Naomh Eanna got their first win of the season at Hightown last Sunday when they beat St Brigid’s by 2-12 to 1-7, to leave the Musgrave Park side still looking for their first win of the season

Played in difficult conditions the team were level at the end of the opening quarter but a goal from a penalty and a point from play by Naomh Eanna’s Cillien Gilmour helped his team to a 1-4 to 0-4 half time lead.

When the home side added the first three points of the second half through Michael Morgan, Ronan Lala and Thomas Gilmour they were firmly in control and it was clear that St Brigid’s had a mountain to climb. Rory McErlean pulled a point back from a free but Naomh Eanna pushed on with a point from play by left half back Owen Kennedy, three in a row from full forward Fionn Nagle and one from a 45 from Tomas Gilmour.

A goal from midfielder Sean Logue and a point from Brian McGurk gave St Brigid’s some hope, but the door was firmly shut when Naomh Eanna substitute Sean McBride goaled at the other end to wrap up an eight point win.
