ACFL Division 3

Naomh Comhghall CLG 3-13 v Na Piarsaigh 0-6

Naomh Comhghall got their division 3 campaign under new manager Barry Burns off to an emphatic start and the former St. Paul’s player had his side well set up for what turned out to be a fairly comfortable victory.

St Comgall’s and Patrick Pearses GAC took to the field for their first match of the season on Saturday. From the start both sides approached the game in a positive mode and the while the final score was definitive both sides deserve credit for their efforts.

Naomh Comhghall moved the ball at pace and their finishing was impressivedespite a very soft and wet pitch which hampered efforts at times.

Barry Burns will be happy with his side’s first performance under his guidance but it is early days yet. If the Antrim town team can bring the commitment that they are certain to get from their new manager then they are quite capable of competing for honours this season.
