Cuala and Plunkett’s record wins in SHC ‘A’

Thu, 18th April 2019

Cuala showed all their prowess when defeating St Jude's 2-27 to 0-16 in their Dublin SHC 'A' Group 2 encounter at Monastery Road, Clondalkin on Wednesday night.

First half goals from Con O'Callaghan and Colum Sheanon along with four points from David Treacy helped Cuala to a commanding 14-point (2-17 to 0-9) interval lead.

Jude's cause was not helped by the dismissal of Tom Devlin early in the second half.

Con finished with a tally of 1-5 while Treacy contributed 0-7, Colm Cronin and Niall Carthy both hit 0-3.

Fionn O Riain Broin scored 0-3 for Jude's with Donie Fox, Shane O'Brien, Diamuid McLoughlin, Paul Maguire and the hard working Danny Sutcliffe contributing to the scoring tally.

Jude's gave battle but were up against a team coming very much back into their best form.

The only worry for Cuala was a facial injury picked up by Darragh O'Connell.

In the Dublin SHC 'A' Group 3 game at Lawless Park, Swords a goal from Brian McDonald helped St Oliver Plunkett's/Eoghan Ruadh to a 1-19 to 1-13 victory over Nh Fionnbarra.
