Oldcastle never extended in win over st Vincent’s

Oldcastle 5-14 St.Vincent’s 0-4

Oldcastle remain strongly in the hunt for promotion after their powerful display against St. Vincents in R9 of Div 3 A-League played in a sunny Millbrook on Friday evening last.

The home side hit 1-2 within the first five minutes of the match before the visitors St. Vincents got on the score-sheet.

That score proved to be their only point of the first half, as Oldcastle proved too strong for the opposition by bagging 4-13 in the opening half. Peter Monaghan, CJ Healy and Jason Scully (2) claiming the goals in a half that demonstrated Oldcastle’s attack in true menace.

The visitors put in a spirited, stubborn performance in the second half however and limited Oldcastle’s movement of the scoreboard. St. Vincents sent over 3 points (2 f) while the home side bagged 1-1. A half very different from the first in terms of scoring but equally as entertaining in terms of both defences and individual battles taking spotlight.

Oldcastle:Packie Kevin, Oran O’Reilly, Robert Packenham, Keith Connell, Eoin Gilsenan (0-1), Conor Delaney (0-1), Stephen Lawless (0-1), Conor McHugh, Ross Cadden, Gerard Reidy (0-1), Niall Mangan (0-1), Robbie Smith, CJ Healy (1-4), Peter Monaghan (1-2), Jason Scully (3-3,1f)
