Good scores from Nathan Rooney and Paul Kilcoyne put the game in the balance in injury time, before Michael Munnelly kicked the winner, curling over from the right hand side. Next up is Coolera/Strandhill in Ransboro on Sunday at 1pm.

The Senior team made the short trip to Kent Park on Friday evening to play St Mary’s in round 5 of the Division 1 League. It turned out to be a game of two halves with the home side dominating the first to lead by 13 points to 3 at the break. Despite Mary’s putting over the first point of the second half, Molaise began chipping away at the 11 point lead playing a lovely brand of attacking football. With two goals helping to reduce the deficit to just one point and with just six minutes remaining, Molaise again rattled the Mary’s net to take the lead for the first time. Having been reduced to 14 players halfway through the second half, that was as good as it got for the Gaels as St Mary’s scored the final three points, two from frees, leaving the final score St Mary’s 0-18, Naomh Molaise Gaels 3-08.
