Playing their usual brand of fast, attacking football Ratoath maintained their unbeaten run in the SFC when they defeated Gaeil Colmcille 1-11 to 1-9 at Skryne last night.

David Brady's side most of the way and built on a 1-5 to 0-3 interval advantage before pushing on to win.

Bobby O'Brien fired home a brilliant goal for Ratoath while Gaeil Colmcille came back strongly in the second-half with Fionn Ferguson netting for them, a super finish from close range.

Both sides had already qualified for the knock-out phase so this was about pride and sustaining their respective winning runs. Ratoath managed to do just that.
