Second half goals from Gavin Sweeney and Pauric Gordon paved the way for the win after coming from three points down in the early minutes of the second half.

Shortly after Browne added another point followed by a second goal tucked away by Pauric Gordon to set St Mary’s on their way to a straight eighth win.
