Sweeney shines as Moorefield march into last four

Moorefield (Kildare) 0-17 Rathnew (Wicklow) 2-7

Evergreen stalwart Tommy Gill opened for Rathnew with a point in the first minute but then Moorefield stormed 0-6 to 0-1 ahead with scores from Eanna O’Connor (3), Eddie Heavey, Ciaran Kelly and Adam Tyrrell.

Ronan Sweeney played a crucial midfield role for the Kildare men despite wearing the number 14 shirt and he was the fulcrum for most of their attacking moves, while Eanna O’Connor shone from play and placed balls.
