GAA: Naomh Muire produced an excellent performance to see of St Michael’s at The Bridge, Dunfanaghy earlier this afternoon.

St Michael’s were without their Donegal contingent who are currently in Kerry, preparing for their NFL clash in Tralee tomorrow afternoon.

However, they still would’ve been favourites – especially with home advantage.

Eddie Harkin’s side will rue a succession of first-half wide’s when analysing this performance.

St Michael’s were guilty of kicking nine first-half wide’s – and that proved fatal in the end.

The score was deadlocked at 0-04 a-piece at the interval, and in the second-half it was nip and tuck all the way through.

However, a goal by Naomh Muire in the second-half was the crucial score – as Eamon O’Boyle’s men ran out winners by the narrowest of margins.

St Michael’s will focus their attentions on the defence of their league title, when league football resumes in a fortnight.

Naomh Muire will take confidence from this scalp in a competitive fixture ahead of their new season under the guidance of O’Boyle.

Final Score: St Michael’s 0-08 Naomh Muire 1-06
