Goals win matches and Duagh ensured that with a hat-trick when we met them in the North Kerry League, in Ballybunion on Sunday. They were the slicker outfit in the opening half, raising the green flag in the opening few minutes and added a further two goals before the interval. While we pegged them back to within five points, we trailed by 3-7 to 0-8 at the short whistle. 

We upped the tempo on the changeover, fighting hard for every ball and outscored our opponents by six points to two, keeping them scoreless until the final ten minutes. However, we ended up on the wrong side of the scoreline, 0-14 to 3-9. Our final round game is against Brosna next Sunday.
