Morrissey gets post-Dunne era off to winning start

Ahead through Morrissey’s goal inside 52 seconds, the hosts — with Stuart Ashton in charge in a caretaking role — could not make a domination of possession count for the rest of the first half, but early second-period strikes from Morrissey and Garry Buckley gave them a cushion.

Morrissey’s first, after his initial volley from Ian Turner’s corner, looked to have set them up, but a physical Kilbarrack approach was not always punished, including when defender Alan McHugh looked to have fouled Morrissey in the penalty area.
