SHC victories for Na Fianna and O’Toole’s

Na Fianna made it two wins from two starts when they cruised to a 3-26 to 2-9 victory over Nh Fionnbarra in Thursday night's Dublin SHC 'A' Group 2 encounter at Parnell Park.

Colin Curries led the way in the scoring column for the St Mobhi Road side, finishing with a personal tally of 1-8 (0-4f, 0-1 '65'), while AJ Murphy who has only recently returned to full competitive action following injury impressed with five points from play.

Currie scored the only goal of the opening half as his side entered the break with a 1-11 to 0-7 cushion.

Six minutes into the second half Ger Dodrill grabbed a goal back for the Barrs, who lined out once again without their injured Dublin forward Eamonn Dillon.

However, Na Fianna never looked like they were going to let the game slip and Seán Ryan's goal with just over 15 minutes remaining, following good work by Padraig Buggy, ensured victory for his side.

Ten minutes from time Ciarán Heeney hit Na Fianna's third goal and just before the finish Dylan Curley grabbed a consolation goal for the Cabra men.

A strong opening half saw O'Toole's on the way to a 2-18 to 0-17 Dublin SHC 'A' Group 1 victory over Raheny in the second game at the Donnycarney venue.

Cian Wilson and Christy Mulligan both goaled in the opening half as the Larriers raced into a 2-10 to 0-5 lead by the break.

Raheny relied heavily on Eoghan Smyth for their scores throughout and the former Dublin minor finished with 0-13 (0-11f).

O'Toole's struck for their opening goal in the sixth minute when Wilson was on hand to sweep the sliotar to the net after Raheny keeper Paddy Bradshaw had denied Mulligan with his original effort.

Andrew Morris, who finished with 0-7 (3f) as did Conor Carton (6f), tagged on two points before O'Toole's struck for their second goal in the 14th minute when Mulligan fired to the net.
