Dunderry stay on track

Rathmolyon was the unusual venue for an IFC game this evening and for Dunderry it proved to be a happy occasion as they won 0-14 to 0-8 to progress to the knock-out phase.

A ticket to the quarter-finals was the prize for the winners of this contest and Barry Callaghan's side proved the more composed, accurate side to prevail.

After 17 minutes Dunderry trailed 0-1 to 0-5 but by the break they led 0-7 to 0-6 and they pushed on from there to secure the win.

Stephen Coogan showed the way for them with seven points while Ryan Moore topscored for Longwood with three.

Moore was shown a red card in the closing minutes to complete a forgettable evening for his side.
