Midleton maintained their perfect start to the season with a ninth consecutive Division 1 HL win after defeating Sarsfields. The two will meet again when they face off in the final, but the Magpies will be pleased with having taken the maximum haul of 18 points from the league.

It was a relatively comfortable victory too. They had eight points to spare over their Riverstown opponents as Conor Lehane top-scored with 0-8, including five from play.
