Abbeyside claim scalp of favourites and bridge 26 year gap

Abbeyside 2-10 De La Salle 0-11

After a tight opening half, Abbeyside got the crucial break a minute into added time when Mark Fives crashed a semi penalty to the net to give his side a 1-7 to 0-7 lead despite having played into a strong wind.

Midway through the second half midfielder Patrick Lynch nabbed the winner’s second goal to open up a six point gap, and while they battled right to the end De La Salle could never close the gap.
