Doonbeg 2-10 – Liscannor 0-07 at Liscannor
DOONBEG were already assured of the semi-final berth before making the journey up the N67 for this 2010 county final re-match against Liscannor, but there was still no letting up as they comfortably claimed their fifth win of the campaign.
Liscannor were without their midfield talisman Brian Considine because of a broken nose, while the Magpies fielded 12 of the side that started the championship opener the previous weekend against Lissycasey.
In truth they had the points wrapped up by half-time as they stormed into a 1-7 to 0-3 interval lead – David Tubridy showing the way with points, while Paul Dillon further staked his claim for a permanent starting spot with a goal that helped open up that seven-point gap.
Liscannor looked to the half-forward line for scores, with Niall Considine chipping in with two points over the hour, while Alan Clohessy hit five. However, any hope of retrieving the situation in the second half was killed off by a David Tubridy goal as the Magpies eased to a nine-point victory.
The defeat keeps Liscannor in relegation trouble ahead of their final game this weekend against Kilmurry Ibrickane. However, victory could still catapult them to safety and into a semifinal at the semi-final. That’s the thin line they’re walking on.
