The side from Dunkineely had squeezed out a one-point win in Urris last weekend, while Peter McGeehin and Adrian McClafferty’s young St Eunan’s team overcame Pettigo on the road.
Today at O’Donnell Park, Kennedy kicked 0-8, with Bresling registering his side’s goal, in the second half. At the break, it was the visitors who were in front, 0-7 to 1-2, with the hosts’ goal coming from Cathal McGarvey, although they lost Mark Cannon to a black card.
Naomh Ultan’s second half goal from Breslin came right at the start of the second half, with Kennedy’s ball into Mark Erskine falling to the corner-forward. The physically stronger visitors began to notch up scores as the clock ran into red.
