Johnstown 3 Athboy 2

Despite taking an early lead with a well taken goal from Daragh Hughes and hitting the woodwork twice Johnstown went in level at the break.  After being reduced to ten men early in the second half Johnstown went 2-1 up with a scrambled goal from Shane Kelly.

A missed penalty midway through the second half didn’t help but Johnstown dug deep and following some persistent pressure went 3-1 up with another good finish from Hughes.  Late pressure from Athboy reduced our lead to 3-2 but we held on for a well deserved 3 points.  A solid team performance where every player gave 100%.
