De La Salle struggle against Fourmilewater

DE LA SALLE, defeated in last year’s Waterford SHC final, struggled to overcome a disappointing Fourmilewater in this first round game at Fraher Field, Dungarvan on Saturday.

John Mullane or James Quirke were sorely missed by the victors and major improvement will be needed if they are to repeat the heroics of last year.

In the absence of Mullane most of the attacking honours were garnered by corner forwards Matthew Barden and 17-year-old Craig Moloney who accounted for nine points.
