After two rounds of the B League Moynalvey remain without a win as they went down to Nobber on a 2-5 to 0-9 score line on Tuesday Night 13th March.
Nobber 2-5 Moynalvey 0-9
Trailing by two goals at half time, Moynalvey outscored their opponents four points to no score in the second half, leaving two points between the sides at the full time whistle.
Nobber’s Darren Lambe opened the scoring after just 50 seconds, with Moynalvey’s Ciaran Ennis replying with the first of his five converted frees.
Moynalvey’s goalkeeper David Brennan pulled off a point blank save in the 7th minute to deny Nobber a goal, but thirty seconds later Nobber did find the net courtesy of Gerard Campbell.
Three unanswered points from Nobber’s Campbell and two frees from wing back Darragh Cassidy left it 1-4 to 0-1 on the quarter hour mark.
A brace of Moynalvey points from Stephen Cummins and Peter Durnin reduced the deficit to four, but a point from Campbell and a second Nobber goal by Lambe left Moynalvey eight points adrift of their opponents after 27 minutes, 2-5 to 0-3.
Points from Durnin and Ennis meant the two goals separated the sides at half time, 2-5 to 0-5.
Despite playing with the breeze behind their backs in the second half Nobber failed to score, mainly due to the improved second half showing of Conor Egan and the introduction of substitute David Kane to bolster the Moynalvey rear-guard.
Three Ciaran Ennis second half frees and a point from Shaun Deering saw Moynalvey outscore Nobber 0-4 to 0-0, but a lack of cutting edge up front meant the men in maroon and white could not reel in the home side, leaving the full time score 2-5 to 0-9.
