A FIRST HALF haul of 11 points from out half Brian Keegan gave Presentation, Glasthule, a hard fought victory over Wilson's Hospital at Westmanstown.

Keegan signalled his intentions from the start with a determined run that brought his team close to the Wilsons line. From the resulting scrum, he collected Eoin Smith's pass to cross In the right corner.

Although he missed the conversion, an accurate penalty just five minutes later suggested a one sided affair. However, the Wilson's pack rallied and, undeterred by an obvious disadvantage inside were unlucky not to score after a series of penalties close to Glasthule's line.

Keegan added another penalty before half time.
