St Louis won the Gealfast Year 8 Shield at Dunsilly on Wednesday evening when they beat St Malachy’s, Belfast by 2-2 to 0-1

St Louis full forward Harry McQuillan were grabbed a goal after four minutes to give his team the perfect start and centre forward Conor O’Kane added a point seven minutes later to give his team a 1-1 to 0-0 lead at end of the twenty minute first half.

St Malachy’s were having plenty of possession, but just found it hard to find the target  in difficult conditions and when Cillian Gillespie sent over a free the gap was out to five. A goal Rory Garrett sealed the win for St Louis but St Malachy’s kept on battling and a great run from his own defence by Dylan Quinn led to a free for the Antrim Road boys, and Dillon Foy sent it over the bar for a deserved score.
