Moynalvey secured their second B league victory out of 5 games played this year when travelling to Meath Hill on Saturday evening, August 18th, and coming away with both league points.
Meath Hill 0 – 7 Moynalvey 2 – 8
Playing on Meath Hill’s fantastic new Prunty pitch and under their state of the art floodlighting facilities, both of which must be the envy of every other club in the county, Moynalvey settled quickest and Raymond Ryan opened the scoring with a well taken point after 5 minutes.
Ciaran Collins then finished a fine move to the Meath Hill net, before further points from a fifty by Ryan and Martin Knightly left it 1 – 3 to 0 – 0 after 15 minutes. Meath Hill then opened their account with 2 fine points before a further Ryan point and a second goal from Collins in response to a third Meath Hill point left the half time score at 2 – 4 to 0 – 3 in favour of the visitors. Indeed Moynalvey could have been further ahead had Collins not had a penalty saved in the final minute of the half.
The second half was a lot closer with Meath Hill now playing with the breeze but further points from Ryan, Collins (2) and an excellent effort from Johnny Duffy meant Moynalvey always maintained a healthy cushion and with Meath Hill getting the final two scores of the game, it left the final margin at seven points.
Best for Moynalvey were Martin Ryan, who excelled at left half back, Anthony Brien, Johnny Duffy, Ciaran Collins and Raymond Ryan.
