Mullinalaghta St Columba’s improved significantly on their lacklustre 2020 semi-final performance against Longford Slashers a couple of weeks ago to brush aside the challenge of a youthful Clonguish side in the senior championship clash at Maguire Park on Sunday evening.
Mullinalaghta St Columba’s . . . 3-12 Clonguish . . . 2-8
Three first half goals from James McGivney, Jayson Matthews and Cian Mackey set the foundation for victory for Ciaran Fox’s side early on.
Mullinalaghta are now also realigned with former manager Mickey Graham and the Cavan coach’s handprint was all over this fine performance.
