St Mary’s CBS 3-14, Coláiste Iosagáin 3-07
St Mary’s CBS secured their second consecutive win in the South Leinster Championship with a hard-fought victory over Coláiste Iosagáin, Portarlington. The match, held on Friday, October 4th, saw CBS triumph on a scoreline of 3-14 to 3-07.
Following their opening round victory against FCJ Bunclody, CBS entered this clash with confidence but were tested by a determined Coláiste Iosagáin side. The first half was closely contested, with both teams trading scores, leaving CBS narrowly ahead at the break.
The second half, however, belonged to St Mary’s. Eoin Fitzpatrick, Darragh Fingleton, and Noah Lalor struck vital goals to help CBS pull away in the final stages. Fitzpatrick’s goal, in particular, came at a crucial moment, shifting the momentum firmly in CBS’s favour.
Despite a spirited effort from Coláiste Iosagáin, including three well-taken goals of their own, CBS’s strong second-half display ensured they maintained control of the game.
With two wins from two, St Mary’s now face Gorey CS in their final group game with the opportunity to top their group and progress to the semi-final of the championship.
