Three second half goals clinched the Covid delayed 2020 Division 2 Football league title for Rathcline as they gradually asserted superiority over Sean Connolly’s in the final played in wet conditions at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Wednesday night.
Rathcline . . . 3-12 Sean Connolly’s . . . 1-6
The game was all square with four minutes gone on the changeover when Adrian Brady pointed for Connolly’s. Liam Connerton then replied with a point for Rathcline before Shane Kenny scored the crucial first goal.
His younger brother Oran got the second goal to put the shannonsiders in a comfortable lead while Liam Connerton found the back of the net in the 55th minute to leave the wide margin of 12 points separating the sides in the finish.
