St Lomans Mullingar 5.19 Castledaly 1.12

St Lomans produced their best league performance on Tuesday evening last in a dominant display against the host team Castledaly. Results in the other games went in favour of the blues throwing them right back into contention to contest another league final.

The first half was complete one-way traffic as St Lomans raced into an irreversible lead. There was some top-class team moves throughout the half. Ken Casey had his shooting boots on kicking four first half points. The blues spread the scores among the forward line with David Windsor, James Cox, Ronan O Toole(2), TJ Cox and Garrett Hickey also raising the white flag. Two goals were also scored when Conradh Reilly coolly finished to the net while Garrett Hickey kept up his impressive record from the penalty spot for the blues second goal. 

St Lomans were dominant at midfield with Ciaran Kilmurray and Fola Ayorinde bossing the centre of the park. Resolute defending saw the home side held to just three first half points scored. While all six backs were impressive, corner back Sean Kelly produced a flawless display for the sixty minutes. 

Castledaly started the second half in determined fashion and kicked three unanswered points. Ken Casey converted a free to break their momentum after TJ Cox had been fouled. The home side were unlucky on a few occasions not to raise the green flag most notably when they rattled the crossbar. 

Two goals in two minutes from James Cox and Fola Ayorinde ended any slim hopes of a comeback from Castledaly. Ken Casey, Conradh Reilly and David Windsor added to their tally while David Whelan(2) and Chris Gilbert also got in on the act with points. While Castledaly did add a late goal the final say of the game went to the impressive Ronan O Toole who rattled in a goal with a sublime finish from a Ken Casey pass.
