Doon’s blitz sinks Castletroy

St Fintan’s CBS, Doon 3-12 Castletroy College 1-14

Trailing by 0-10 to 1-5 three minutes before half-time, Doon were given a tonic as Joe Lonergan netted their second goal, while Barry Nash’s free for Castletroy ensured the sides went in level. By the time they scored again they would have conceded another 1-4.

The relocation of wing-back Shane O’Connell to a sweeping role paid huge dividends for Doon as it deprived Tom Morrissey – scorer of five first-half points for Castletroy – vital possession and gave the victors a platform.
