While last weekend saw the rebirth of hurling for St John’s in Ballycastle it may not be the only code heading for a comeback. On Friday evening at Woodlands the club’s young footballers showed promising signs that the good times may not be too far away for the big ball game either as they turned on the style to beat South West champions Dunloy with a polished display.
With the breeze at their back in the opening half the young Johnnies flew from the traps and three unanswered points were followed by a goal from Seanan Wright and a well taken point from Jack Rafferty to move seven clear. Dunloy hit back with a goal from a penalty by corner forward Caden Doherty, but that was to be their only score of the half as the Johnnies hit nine more on the trot, four of them from the sweet left foot of Odhran O’Prey.
Dunloy fared a lot better in the second half and created a lot of chances, but the lacked the finishing power of their opponents. Little corner forward Caden Doherty caught the eye as showed a range of skills, but St John’s had the power and two more goals came from Wright and Rafferty to seal an emphatic win
