Rathmore have aces in Russell and Foley
They gained an important psychological advantage at Austin Stack Park with a goal from man-of-the-match Seamie Foley just before the half-time whistle and, when Mike Frank Russell produced a second stunning goal in the 43rd minute, Rathmore's hopes disappeared.
Foley, named at midfield but operating mainly at full-forward, was one of a number of Laune Rangers players to make a significant contribution to this impressive victory.
