ACL Minor League: The Downs 5-12 Mullingar Shamrocks 0-8

After leading by 2-9 to 0-5 at the interval The Downs pushed on after the restart and were convincing winners of this minor league match in Springfield on Friday evening against a younger Mullingar Shamrocks side. A penalty goal at the end added to the Shamrocks misery and but for some superb goalkeeping by Seán Hynes the defeat could have been a couple of goals heavier as heads went down and effort levels dropped as the game progressed. Mullingar Shamrocks: Seán Hynes; Emmet Walshe, Mark Flynn, Daniel Adzangoa; John O 'Reilly, Tomas Turks, William Chukwuemeka; Brian Farrell, Jack Gillen(Ryan Battle); Trevor Keena, Zach Aherne, Andrew Shaw; Ryan Battle (Ben White), Barry Nwokeiwu, Oliver McNamara.
