Sean Sutton Scored the next point before Mark Torpeys 3 points from frees and Corey Murphy’s point had us 0-08 to 0-01 at the 15 minute mark. Super midfield play by Jack Foley and Kieran Harrington ensuring we winning our kickouts and balls being won well inside by Ronan Foley led to a constant supply to the forwards.
