St Naul's get first win in Division 2 after long trip to Moville

Stephen Griffin

Not for the first time Stephen Griffin was on fire as St Naul's got their first victory of the league campaign away in Moville.

Moville 1-6
St Naul's 2-11

Griffin accounted for 1-6 of his side's total, a magnificent return for the Parish of Inver side.
St Naul's led by 1-9 to 0-2 at the break and were never really in danger of losing.
Moville were not helped by getting Eunan Hegarty black carded in the opening half.

Their goal came from Enda Faulkner when he bundled it over the line after a run from their most impressive player Ciaran Diver.

The home side also had a call for a penalty in the last five minutes when Michael Barr fouled in the box before Griffin fired home his second goal.
