The St. Stephen’s Boys Senior Football team started their tilt at the 2018 premiership flag in scintillating fashion this past Tuesday with a convincing win over their talented Irene McCormack opponents.

After winning the toss and electing to kick in favour of the northern end, the boys from the Duncraig campus made good use of the strong wind advantage and kicked accurately with four goals in the first half (with three rushed behinds).

Having three scoring opportunities of their own in the first half, there was concern whether Irene McCormack would be able to return the favour in the second half. However, the Saint’s mid and back lines played smart football by reading the wind-assisted flight and negated most attacking plays from their opponents. Consistent second and third efforts also made the difference as our delivery inside our forward fifty was excellent, kicking the first and last goals of the second half to ensure the win.

Final Score:

St. Stephen’s (Duncraig) – 6 goals, 5 behinds (41 points)

Irene McCormack – 3 goals, 5 behinds (23 points)
