ACHL Division 3
Rasharkin 2-17 Cushendall 2nd’s 2-9
A Donagh Quigg and Conor McKeever inspired Rasharkin got their ACHL Division 3 campaign up and running when they proved too good for Cushendall’s second string at a breezy Dreen on Sunday past.
The Blue and Amber Hoops didn’t have it all their own way against a Ruairi Ogs outfit led by experience campaigners, Chrissy McNaughton and Ciaran Neeson but in the end were worthy 8 point winners.
Quigg once again impressed for the men from Dreen and finished with 1-5 to his credit while full-forward McKeever was equally efficient, both from placed balls and from play.
McKeever converted five frees over the hour and added two more from play as the home side were always able to respond to whatever the visitors could throw at them and the Rasharkin management will be well pleased by their side’s overall performance.
Conor McKillop finished with 1-2 to his name for St. Mary’s while the hard working Brian Og O’Neill contributed 0-2 and their other score came from Tiernan O’Boyle.
