St. Eunan’s scored a second victory in the senior hurling league when they overcame Mac Cumhaills in Mac Cumhaill Park on Friday.
Mac Cumhaills 0-7 St. Eunan’s 3-7
Aaron McAuley opened the scoring for the home team with a 3rd minute free. Ryan Hilferty replied with a fine individual point on 5 minutes.
Bernard McMenamin and Cian Durack then exchanged points. Sean McBride put the visitors two points ahead before Eugene Organ extended the lead with a top class individual goal on 19 minutes. Having field a long high ball he ran through the home defence and finished to the top corner of the net.

Dean Hannigan and McAuley narrowed the difference again with two early second half points, followed by a reply from Organ. The key spell in the game took place between the 47th and 52nd minutes when St. Eunan’s full forward Ronan Steed struck for two very similar goals, catching two long high balls in the square and giving goalkeeper Conor Gallagher no chance from close range. Kyle Tourish finished the scoring with a point for the home team, resulting in a three goal margin at the end.
