Inspired by a cracking goal from Joe Kelly just before the break, Ballymahon went on to score a great win over Granard in the Senior Football Championship Group 3 clash at Devine Park on Sunday in moving a big step closer to a place in the quarter-finals.
Ballymahon . . . 4-9 St Mary’s Granard . . . 1-6
St Mary’s, on the other hand, were guilty of kicking several costly wides in this severe setback and their cause was badly hampered when centre-half-back Vinny Nally was sent-off after receiving a straight red card with six minutes gone in the second half and soon after Eddie Noonan scored a decisive second goal for Ballymahon.
