Colm Basquel goal key as Ballyboden St Enda’s edge dour battle

St Patrick’s (Louth) 0-7 Ballyboden St Enda’s (Dublin) 1-8: It tells a tale of the terrible conditions in Drogheda, and the resulting quality of the fare, that the big talking points afterwards surrounded players that weren’t actually involved.

Colm Basquel’s 36th minute goal ultimately proved decisive for Ballyboden St Enda’s in a dour encounter, securing the Dublin champions a November 22 Leinster club semi-final clash with St Loman’s of Westmeath.

It was far from pretty in windy, rain sodden conditions and ‘Boden manager Andy McEntee found most of his post-match interview taken up with questions about players who weren’t involved.
