Although they tried to be as competitive as they could in the first half, Wolfe Tones Mostrim were no match for a far stronger Navan O’Mahony’s outfit in this one-sided Leinster Club Junior Hurling Championship first round game at Devine Park on Saturday.

Navan O’Mahony’s . . . 7-18    Wolfe Tones Mostrim . . . 3-6

The Meath Intermediate champions are operating at a much higher level and it showed as they cruised to a very easy win. Wolfe Tones conceded a couple of goals in the opening minutes of the match and ended up suffering a heavy defeat.

Sean Browne, John Newman (penalty) and Luke Kelly (a brilliant strike early in the second half) scored consolation goals for the Longford senior hurling champions who trailed by 4-8 to 2-4 at half-time.
