St Joseph's in deserved win

St Joseph's, Rochfortbridge 0-13 Moyne Community School 1-4St Joseph's deserved their six-point win over Moyne in Rochfortbridge yesterday.

The winners had the advantage of a strong wind in the first half and they piled on the scores, with captain Alan Giles and Jamie Hayes proving very accurate from placed balls and open play.

At the interval, St Joseph's led by 0-10 to 0-2 and, despite the tonic of a well-taken seventh-minute goal after the break by Emmet Collum, Moyne never threatened to claw back the deficit.
