For the second time in recent weeks Castlegregory proved much too strong for Scartaglen when the sides met at the local pitch on Sunday last in Div 4 of The Credit Union County League. Castlegregory ran out easy winners of this contest on a final scoreline of 1-19 to 0-8. At half time it was 0-10 to 0-4 in favour of the visitors, with Alan Fitzgerald and Timothy Moriarty particularly impressive. Castlegregory went on to dominate the second half too with all their forwards getting on the score sheet. At the three quarter mark they led 16 points to 5. Castlegregory’s goal came in the last ten minutes of the game when Alan Fitzgerald blasted the ball to the Scartaglen net from the penalty spot. The latter was top scorer for Castlegregory with a tally of 1-6, whilst Daniel Murphy was Scartaglen’s main scorer with 4 points.
