St Lomans hopes of retaining the League Title was taken out of their hands after suffering defeat to Garrycastle on Wednesday evening last in Lakepoint Park. The result means the blues will be relying on other results in the remaining rounds to see can they book a place in the league final.

It was a close encounter throughout with the lead overturning a few times during the first half. The visitors took an early two-point lead but St Lomans responded with a goal fisted to the net by Garrett Hickey. It came as the result of a wonderful move involving Shane Dempsey and Daniel Sheridan. Two points soon followed with Paul Sharry converting a free off the ground while Shane Dempsey also raised the white flag. Garrycastle had the better of the second quarter out scoring the blues to leave it all square at half time.


St Lomans made a bright start to the second half responding well to a Garrycastle point with David Windsor, Conradh Reilly and Ken Casey all kicking points. The score of the game arrived seven minutes into the half when Garrett Hickey set up David Windsor with a goal chance, the wing forward still had work to do but buried to the roof of the net leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Both teams traded scores before Garrycastle were crucially awarded a penalty and they made no mistake converting it past Jason Daly. A second goal soon followed which seen the blues go behind. As the game entered the closing stages the blues had chances to level the game but the score eluded them as the visitors added a late score to earn a two-point win.


While the result wasn’t to be on the day it was a decent performance from St Lomans. Stephen Ryan played his best game in a blues jersey while Senan Russell worked tirelessly for the sixty minutes. Wing forward David Windsor also impressed with a tally of 1.01.
