Olivers got a great start to the game when Shane O Donnell scored an early goal and our luck didn’t seem to be in when a penalty kick by Mark Loftus came back off the crossbar.
Eoin O Callaghan
However this well trained team made light of this setback and Mark Loftus returned to score 1-1 to give us the lead. Aidan Mansfield levelled the game before Kyle Healy set up Fionn Nagle for a great goal and the lead at half time by 2-1 to 1-1.
Goalie Darragh Healy.
The deadly accurate Mark Loftus pointed his second free on the restart but when Harry O Donovan set up Ben Buckley for Olivers second goal, the game was back in the melting pot.
Matthew Coles
The next score was always going to be vital and Kyle Healy showed great leadership to kick two fine points from play to put us 2-4 to 2-1 in front with ten minutes to play.

Daniel Buckley replied for St. Olivers with their final score but the remainder of the game belonged to the young blues with Kyle Healy scoring a peach of a goal followed by white flags by Mark Loftus and Fionn Nagle to run out worthy winners against good opposition.
