Edenderry 2-11

Ferbane 0-6

Edenderry senior footballers started the defence of their Division One league crown with an 11 point victory over Ferbane on Sunday morning in Edenderry.

Conditions were far from ideal as a thick fog lingered over the pitch but Edenderry made the perfect start with points from Sean Marshall and Sean Moriarty after just three minutes. A '45 from Sean Moriarty in the ninth minute extended Edenderry's lead to 0-3 0-0 but Ferbane got their first score of the game in the sixteenth minute which proved to be the final score of the opening thirty.

Edenderry 0-3

Ferbane 0-1

The second half proved to be far more entertaining for spectators and substitute Alex Kenny was involved in both of Edenderry's opening scores. The first was a point after twenty seconds from veteran forward Keith McGuinness and just forty seconds later Sean Moriarty shot past the Ferbane goalkeeper after some great work from Sean Doyle and Alex Kenny.

Ferbane increased their tally to 0-3 with two fourteen yard free's but points from Ciaran Farrell and Sean Doyle(2) had Edenderry firmly in control at 1-7 0-3 with forty six minutes played.

Sean Doyle and Alex Kenny points either side of a Cian Lawton goal tightened Edenderry's grip on the game and they rounded off a good days work with further points from Alex Kenny and Sean Moriarty.
