Michael Cusack’s 2-10 V Craobh Rua 1-04
Michael Cusack’s hosted Craobh Rua on Wednesday night at Páirc Esler, the first half was a scrappy affair as the winter rustiness was evident in the stickwork. Craobh Rua scored an early goal which gave them a one-point lead at half-time (1-02 to 0-04), with Cusack’s scores coming from Conor Murphy (3) and an Eoin Maguire 65.
The second half saw some improvement as Cusack’s started to find more confidence in their play, with two goals from Eoin Rooney pushing the score beyond the reach of the South Armagh men. Rooney also added two points to his tally, as did Eoin Maguire from frees. Billy Campbell and Tiernan Murphy also found their range with long range scores. Craobh Rua only managed two second half points from frees as the game fizzled out with the home side recording a comfortable victory.
