B League Division 5 Round 5
Seneschalstown 3-10 Ballivor 0-05
Stretched to the bare bones Seneschalstown overcame their hosts Ballivor by fourteen points in a game played on Sunday at lunchtime. It is on days like this when the strength in depth and attitude of a panel are put to the test and they team came through with flying colours as they moved onto eight points and level with Curraha and Skryne at the head of the table.
Seneschalstown got off to a fantastic start when lively corner forward Tommy Duggan finished calmly to the back of the net before the accurate Aled Ingman converted three frees in a row. Full forward Paul McDonnell got in on the scoring act before Ingman picked off another free to leave the visitors four points to the good at half time.
The second half was a much more one sided affair as Seneschalstown outscored their opponents by 2-05 to 0-01. Minor player Ronan Conneely opened the scoring after one minute before his minor colleague David Gordon showed his accuracy when helping himself to a goal and a point from play. Two minutes after Gordon’s goal Ingman’s midfield partner Robbie Waters scored a free to stretch the Seneschalstown advantage.
The Seneschalstown scoring slowed down thereafter, with three scores registered by the Seneschalstown men over the closing third of the match. Paul McDonnell accounted for two of these when pointing in the nineteenth and twenty four minutes either side of Tommy Duggan’s second major of the day as Seneschalstown ran out comfortable winners in the end.
Great credit is due to the players and the management for an excellent performance and the focus of all now reverts to the championship clash with Dunshaughlin next Sunday in Dunsany at 18:15. This promises to be a titanic match between two sides currently unbeaten in the championship so far.
Seneschalstown Scorers: Tommy Duggan 2-00, Aled Ingman 0-04, David Gordon 1-01, Paul McDonnell 0-03, Robbie Waters and Ronan Conneely 0-01 each.
