Cadogan pulls Douglas clear
There were only nine points from play over the hour, but by the end nobody could quibble with Douglas’s status as victors – especially as they were without key players Eoin Cadogan, Mark Harrington, Cormac Dineen and Ray Keating. When required in the second half, they produced the increase in their performance levels, augmenting their 0-4 to 0-3 half-time advantage and defending stoutly against a surprisingly lacklustre Newcestown.
With the pressure of the opener out of the way, Douglas manager Tony Leen has now challenged his side to deliver on their sizeable potential and make a proper impact in the latter stages of the championship.
