Vincent’s prepared for final push
Prior to this campaign, only once had they managed to take the next step, losing the 2008 final to St Finbarr’s after a replay, but on the basis of Saturday’s dismantling of Carrigaline, they have every chance of a return to the top tier.
After a poor start, they quickly kicked into gear, with all but the last of their points coming from their starting six forwards. It was not just the attacking sextet which shone, though, as midfielder Stephen Ray, wing-back Tomás O’Connell and corner-back Wayne Murphy all impressed. Goalkeeper and selector Paddy O’Shea did well when called upon too, and he was delighted with the display. He admitted: “That’s probably our best performance of the year.”
