O’Reilly and Basquel strike to see Ballyboden through
In a tense opening, the deadlock was broken through a fine score in the sixth minute from Philly Ryan and dual player Daire Plunkett doubled that advantage from John O’Loughlin’s pass two minutes later. However, St Enda’s gradually began to reel in their opponents with two excellent points apiece from Conal Keaney and Dublin panellist Declan O’Mahony ensuring Boden led 0-6 to 0-4 after 20 minutes.
Approaching the break, St Brigid’s were awarded a penalty after Paul O’Brien’s foul on Ryan and Shane Supple fired a left-footed shot beyond opposite number Darragh Walsh.
