Moynalvey 1-14
Moynalvey made it Dunderry on the double this weekend, picking up their second win against the same opponents, this time in the premier football championship to follow up their win eighteen hours earlier in the A league.
Moynalvey hit the first two scores of the game with points from David Donoghue and Kyle O’Malley, with Dunderry opening their account in the 4th minute with a Tadhg Dowd point.
A second Kyle O’Malley point which could just as easily have ended up in the net was followed by a Dunderry free to leave it 0-3 to 0-2 in favour of the men in maroon with eight minutes played.
A trio of Vinny Walsh points, followed by a brilliant Eoin Corrigan point on the right wing left it 0-7 to 0-3 with 20 minutes on the clock. Dunderry’s point coming from wing back Jack Coneely.
A Moynalvey point which found its way over the crossbar via a Dunderry defender was countered at the other end by a Bob Doherty free for the home side making it double scores, 0-8 to 0-4, with five minutes of the opening half remaining.
Darragh Branigan gathered the break off a kick out and raced forward to split the uprights, with Dunderry responding with a Ben Clarke free just before half time to leave it 0-9 to 0-5 in favour of Moynalvey at the break.
A brace of Dunderry points in the third quarter were countered by a pair of Vinny Walsh points to leave the score board read 0-11 to 0-7 at the three-quarter hour mark.
Dunderry narrowed the deficit to three points the 49th minute, but that three point margin was doubled to six sixty seconds later when Moynalvey substitute Ciaran Harnan palmed home from close range for the game’s only goal, leaving it 1-11 to 0-8.
Three Dunderry points with an Aidan Gilsenan point for Moynalvey left four between the sides with seven minutes remaining, 1-12 to 0-11.
That four point gap remained between the sides at the full time whistle, as Dunderry tagged on another two points, as did Moynalvey with points from Ciaran Harnan and Adam Rooney wrapping up the four point win for Moynalvey, their second win in the competition and their second win over Dunderry this weekend.
Best for the winners here were Craig Gilsenan, Eoin Corrigan, Kyle O’Malley, Vinny Walsh and Ciaran Harnan.
