On Saturday at Shanowen Road our 14 Premier recovered well from last weeks unlucky defeat to Cherry Orchard to score a 2 - 0 win over Malahide United in a close fought game - Brian Mc Manus and Dawson Devoy scored first half goals but Malahide were the dominant team in the second half forcing Cian Clarke into a couple of excellent saves.
