Fedigan at double for Syddan
Syddan Blackhall G 3-11 1-10
SYDDAN maintained their fine early season form and now set the pace in Division 2 after continuing their unbeaten run in Kilcloon on Sunday.
Wing back Stuart Fedigan is fast developing a habit of hitting crucial goals and it was his brace in the opening half that propelled Syddan to their latest victory.
The visitors played into a biting wind in the opening half but, boosted by those Fedigan goals, were ahead 2-4 to 1-4 at the break.
Fedigan hit the opening goal on 20 minutes to leave his side leading 1-3 to 0-2, and he struck again approaching the break when first-timing a loose ball to the net.
That second goal was an immediate response to a goal at the other end, a scrambled effort from John Fagan, which had Blackhall ahead for the only time in the match.
Daire Rowe (two) Gary Farrelly and Cormac Rowe contributed Syddan’s points in the opening half.
The hosts, who kicked eight wides in the opening half, were first off the mark in the second, from the impressive Sean Whelan, but their next score didn’t arrive until 20 minutes later when Alan Nestor fired over.
In that time Syddan shot points from Daire Rowe, Kevin Traynor and Padraic Dillon, while Cormac Rowe accounted for a third goal. Those scores effectively sealed victory for Syddan.
Sean Whelan took his tally of points to six before the end.
