Niall McNamee puts Rhode on final path

The Faithful star hit eight points and oozed class, as Rhode set up a repeat of the 2014 provincial decider against St Vincent’s.

The first five points all were all from frees as McNamee and Conor Finnegan engaged in a private shoot-out. But Rhode carried the greater threat from play and the hosts would have been content to reach the 20-minute mark just a point in arrears, 0-3 to 0-2. But McNamee lofted over the first score from play and he added another free in injury-time to make it three points without reply, and chisel out a 0-5 to 0-2 lead at half-time.
