Masterson is key man

CASTLETOWN attacker Anthony Masterson picked himself off the treatment table to inspire his side to a three point, 1-10 to 1-7, victory over Sarsfields.

The reigning champions opened impressively, leading 0-4 to 0-0 after just 11 minutes through Tomás Sheehy, George Sunderland, Conor Carty and Andy Merringan.

Points from Philly Cullen and Paul Murphy free hauled Sarsfields back into the game and Castletown were dealt a real setback when Kevin Morris was sent off.
