Aaron Doherty
Naomh Columba chalked up their first home win with this afternoon’s narrow win over Sean MacCumhaill's in Pairc Na nGaeil.
Naomh Columba 0-15 Sean MacCumhaill's 1-11
It took an Aaron Doherty free three minutes into injury to finally separate the two sides in a tit for tat game that was close from the first whistle to the last.
Doherty once again top scored for the hometeam with an impressive 0-9, six of them from frees.
A Darren O’Leary goal eight minutes into the tie helped Sean MacCumhaill's to a three points half-time lead. The boys from the Twin Towns led 1-6 to 0-6 at the interval.
And the Finnsiders looked like they had clinched at least one point and a share of the spoils. But Naomh Columba who have dropped two home points already this season refused to buckle and Doherty came to the rescue with his late strike.
