At half time we led by 8-4 to 1-0, the scores continued to come during the second half.  Naomh Olafs put together some good attacks and showed great character in the way that they fought hard until the end, but the combination of our back line and goalie Ben Egan made scores very elusive for them.  All played very well, outstanding performance from Derek Whiston, Blain & Stephen Curtis, David Courtney and  Conor Toolan.  This win in the first game of this season's league must be a good omen for things to come.
