St Lomans Mullingar 0.14 Rosemount 2.17

St Lomans hosted Rosemount in the Division 1 league on Sunday morning last and the visitors deservingly left with the points after a dominant display. The positive for the blues on the day was the form of Shane Dempsey who continued his scoring streak registering thirteen of the fourteen points for St Lomans.

There was very little between the teams in the opening ten minutes with St Lomans having the slight advantage and were in front thanks for three Shane Dempsey points. Crucially midway through the half Rosemount kicked four unanswered points with David Mc Cormack, Declan Mullen and the lively Ben Cox all on target. The visitors raised the green flag on the 24^th minute mark and from here they never looked back. They were unlucky not to have a second goal soon after when they hit the crossbar and blues goalkeeper Stephen Gallagher tapped over the rebounded effort. Points were exchanged with Shane Dempsey kicking over all the blues scores as Rosemount had a half team lead of 1.10 to 0.08.

The second half mirrored the first with Rosemount completely on top and when they converted a penalty ten minutes into the half the game was all but over. Shane Dempsey added five points to his tally while young TJ Cox kicked over a fine effort late on. While it was a tough day at the office for the blues a few of our younger players gained plenty of experience of top division football and it will stand to them in the future.
