Moy Davitts off to perfect start after blitzing performance
Pat Clarke’s side got off to the perfect start in miserable wet conditions.
MAYO INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Moy Davitts 4-21
Louisburgh 0-11
In Louisburgh
Pat Clarke’s Moy Davitts side produced an outstanding performance as they got their championship campaign off to a positive start in a wet but humid Louisburgh.
Last year’s county finalists dominated this battle right from the off with Conor Reid and the full-forward line of Brian Heneghan, Brian Reape and Ronan Clarke all impressing. Recent All Ireland winner Cian McHale also caught the eye while he kicked 2-6 in a 48-minute spell.
Louisburgh’s dangerman Dylan Prendergast kicked all his side’s scores in the opening half while they trailed by 12 at the break. The opening goal of the game came from Cian McHale after 23 minutes and the men in white went in at half-time in control, leading 1-14 to 0-5.
Cian O’Malley added two fine two-pointers for Louisburgh, but the visitors kicked on again with some excellent team moves on show. The electric Brian Heneghan added a brace of goals before McHale added his second with a precise finish. The inside Moy Davitts line finished the game with a fine tally of 2-9 as Heneghan, Reape and Clarke all contributed to an excellent victory.
Up next, Moy Davitts will host Davitts while Louisburgh will travel to Lahardane with those games taking place in two weeks time.
