Naomh Eanna hold on for first victory

ACHL Division 1

St. Enda’s 3-14 Ballygalget 2-10

Naomh Eanna picked up their first points in the present league campaign when they entertained Ballygalget at Hightown on Saturday evening.

The Down men started without their County contingent who were in action earlier but Pucci, McManus, Fisher and Taggart all arrived to take their place in the second half and bolster the Ballygalgert challenge.

At that stage Naomh Eanna had built up a 2-8 to 0-2 lead with Brendan Cormican and Rian Gillan getting the goals and at this juncture the Hightown side looked to be coasting to victory.

Ruairi Donaghy hit 0-4 during the opening half and Killian Jennings and Gillian were amongst the first point scorer and things certainly looked to be going to plan as the sides changed ends.

The arrival and introduction of the Down contingent for the second half saw Ballygalget start to reign in the St. Enda’s lead and the men from the Ards’ peninsula would add 2-8 to their meagre first half total.

St. Enda’s were in no mood to relinquish their hard earned lead and hit a further 1-6 of their own with Gillan getting his second goal and Luke O’Connor, Eddie O’Connor and Killian Jennings adding to their first half points total.
