Moorefield qualify for semi-final of the UPMC IHC with excellent win

Moorefield had just too much fire power for a Maynooth side who never gave up despite the writing on the wall long before even half-time.

Moorefield had this one well and truly done and dusted with Conn Keogh hitting three goals closely followed by impressive wing back, Mark Tobin who hit 1-4, all from play as the Newbridge totally dominated the opening half.

Maynooth did get some fine points from Eoin Kelleher and Michael Hogan but still trailed by no less than sixteen points at the break.

And it got even worse in the second half as The Moores continued to dominate adding another 4-8 while Maynooth added just five points but could have had a goal or two but for a few top class saves from Moorefield keeper Eoin Carroll.

Conn Keogh chalked up an impressive four goals while Alex Bell scored a total of 0-7.

Naas defeated St Laurence’s 4-18 to 1-3 which means now that the semi-final line up sees Naas play Moorefield while Leixlip will play Broadford.
