Sweet 16 for Hackett as Dunboyne win

Neil Hackett scored 16 points as Dunboyne racked up a 2-23 to 1-11 victory over Na Fianna in the SHC at sunny Boardsmill this evening.

Twelve of Hackett's scores came from frees another from a '65' as Johnny Gorry's side took an early stranglehold on the game.

At the interval Dunboyne were already well in control and led 1-12 to 0-6. In the second-half Jamie Queeney came on as a substitute to try and revive Na Fianna's fortunes.

The Dunboyne goals were scored by Niall Smyth and Gary Watters.

Barry Slevin netted Na Fianna's goal from a penalty and he also tagged on nine points, eight from frees. Na Fianna also had Brendan Flynn sent off just before the end.
