St Lomans Mullingar 2.24 Killucan 1.07

St Lomans recorded an emphatic win and booked their place in the championship semi final against a lethargic looking Killucan side in Cusack Park on Wednesday evening last. A dominant first half saw the blues lead seventeen points to no score at half time.

St Lomans set their mark early in the game kicking five points in the opening eight minutes. John Heslin(2), Shane Dempsey(2) and Ken Casey were the scorers. Casey linked up well with Heslin soon after and a thundering shot rattled the crossbar to deny the blues a goal. A further twelve points were added in the remainder of the half with some scores of the highest quality. Heslin added four with two of these frees from either sideline one with the left foot and the other with the right. Shane Dempsey couldn’t miss and added three more to his tally. Paddy Dowdall turned into forward mode and kicked a wonderful score with his left foot! Kieran Lynam, David Whelan, David Windsor and Ken Casey made up the rest of the point scorers.

The second half proved to be a slightly more competitive affair with the blues outscoring Killucan 2.07 to 1.07 in this half. The introduction of Conor Jordan for Killucan proved a good move as he scored 1.03. John Heslin and Ken Casey linked up once again and this time the green flag was raised when Casey fisted to the net. Blues goalkeeper Jason Daly denied Killucan a second goal with a wonderful save from a Paul Greville effort. Ronan O Toole and substitute Garrett Hickey got in on the act with a point each while Dempsey, Kieran Lynam and John Heslin all added to their tallies including Heslin rattling in the blues second goal.
