Abbeyside hold out

Abbeyside 1-11 Mount Sion 1-9

Corner forward Mark Ferncombe gave them the perfect start with a goal after two minutes, and they were well worth their 1-11 to 0-3 half time lead, with all of Mount Sion’s points coming from Christy Ryan frees.

In fact the losers managed just a solitary point from play, which was scored by Ian Hutchinson in the 58th minute, and that lack of firepower in attack was to ultimately cost them dearly.
