Two from two for Setanta as they overcome Aodh Ruadh in Donegal SHL

Setanta are looking to re-establish themselves in League and Championship in 2022

Super Setanta had a real goal fest against old rivals Burt in Hibernian Park.

Burt 0-15
Setanta 6-13

Two goals from Josh Cronolly/McGee and one from Colm Melaugh were the crucial scores as the visitors led by 3-5 to 0-8 in a hard fought first half.

It did not get much better for a young Burt side in the second half as they hit a match total of 11 wides, although young Liam McKinney hit 0-9 and was very impressive throughout.

Burt had a few early points after the break but were knocked back when Dean Harvey got the first of his two second half goals and Cronolly McGee then completed his hat trick.

Oisin Marley landed 0-8 from frees for the winners while Ciaran Brady and Jack Gallagher were also on target for the youthful Burt.

But, once again, Setanta showed that they still have considerable strength in depth as they stay unbeaten in the League.
