Fri, 6th May 2016

Thursday night's Dublin SHC 'A' Round-ups:

Ballyboden St Enda's made it two wins from two starts in Group 2 of the Dublin SHC 'A' at O'Toole Park on Thursday night when they defeated Faughs 0-28 to 2-14.

Conor O'Shea's seventh minute goal gave Faughs the ideal start and with Chris Bennett in impressive form Faughs were very much in contention for most of the opening half.

At the break Boden had moved 0-16 to 1-9 clear with the accuracy of Niall McMorrow, David Curtin and Paul Doherty keeping Boden in front.

Two minutes into the second half Fergal Heavey struck for Faughs second goal to raise their hopes of an upset.

However, with Stephen Hiney and Malachy Travers ensuring the Boden defence tightened up and Shane Durkin inspiring his side from midfield the Firhouse Road side ran out winners with McMorrow concluding the game with a personal tally of nine points.

St Pat's Palmerstown and St Brigid's shared the spoils, 0-16 each, in Parnell Park.

Pat's led 0-10 to 0-6 at the break thanks mainly to Shane Stapleton but Brigid's improved in the second half with 2015 Dublin minor hurler, Eoghan Dunne, to the fore.

Two goals from Ger Arthur helped O'Toole's to a 5-16 to 1-14 victory over Setanta in the second SHC 'A' game in Parnell Park.
