A small lapse in concentration from the following series of play gave Oliver Plunketts a lifeline into the game scoring the 4th goal in as many minutes in what was a very attacking affair. 

Unimpaired frees from Lee Crosbie kept St. Kevin’s ticking over as they went into the break leading 3-4 to 1-4.

St. Kevin’s started the second half as they finished the first with another goal. Tom Matthews, who was lively all evening, played a wonderful diagonal pass straight to the chest of Cian Callan who set up Ronan Sands who only had to walk the ball in for St. Kevin’s fourth.

5 unanswered points from Patrick Clarke and Tom Matthews seemed to knock the stuffing out the Drogheda outfit who until then, matched their opponents for possession and attacks. 

Ruthless Cian Callan, who came to life in the second half, took advantage of the depleted Plunkett’s defence scoring a hattrick of goals. The pick of the bunch being the last when he fooled every spectator with a fake hand pass, sending the goalkeeper to the other end of the goals, only having to tap in for his fourth. 

A flattering score line for St. Kevin’s who took their goal chances flawlessly, but Oliver Plunkett’s kicking 14 wides will be concerning for Thomas Macnamee, and hopefully keeps his team’s feet firmly on the ground as they travel to the O’Raghallaighs, one of the favourites from the division, next Saturday.
