Antrim Hurling League – Division 2
Carey 0-08 St Gall’s 3-14
Three first half goals set up St Gall’s for victory over Carey Faughs in Sunday’s Division 2 League game at Ballyvoy. The home side, who were short a few regulars, had a day to forget, scoring only one point from play in the whole game and only one point overall in the second half.
The excellent free taking of corner forward Conor McBride kept Carey in the contest in the early stages but the visitors had a wide range of score takers throughout the game. Jackson McGreevey, Patrick Friel and Tomas O’Ciaran hit the target early on as they fired over points but when full forward Tomas O’Ciaran grabbed his team’s first goal from close range it was clear the boys from the Bog Meadows were going to be hard to contain. A second goal followed soon after from Niall Fallon and when Fergus Donnelly soloed through to grab the third it was clear it was going to take a specia effort from the Faughs to deny the boys in blue.
Conor McBride hit a series of great frees for the home side and midfielder Patrick Butler grabbed one from play but by half time St Gall’s led by 3-04 to 0-07, despite playing against the stiff breeze.
With wind advantage in the second half stretched their advantage by the minute as Mark Napier, Fergus Donnelly and Jackson McGreevy stretched their team’s advantage. Napier added three more and McGreevy two to widen the gap even further, while Carey’s only score of the second half came from Patrick Butler late in the game.
