Fr O’Neill’s go the extra in thriller
There were a number of magnificent performers on view. Eoin Conway, Ger O’Leary, Eddie Holland and Billy Murphy were flawless for the winners, while Eamon Brosnan, Jeremy Curtin, Denis O’Riordan and Liam Collins never put a foot wrong for the losers.
Fr O’Neill’s were quick to settle and had two points on the board in as many minutes. Meelin, appearing at this level for the first time, struggled to adapt to the pace of the higher grade, and eight minutes elapsed before Eamon Brosnan opened their account with a point.
