Saul minors got back to winning ways with an emphatic victory over a robust and determined Kilclief at a windswept Saint Patrick’s Park on Sunday last. Playing against a very strong wind Saul controlled most of the first half but wayward shooting into the wind saw them tril at half-time on a 0-5 to 1-1 scoreline, Jason Dagens scoring Saul’s 1-1.

Saul took the lead early in the second half with a goal from Callum Laverty, and this set the trend for the remainder of the game, with Saul in total control, adding further scores from: Jason Dagens 1-5, Paul Ferris 1-1, 0-2 from Lee Magee and a point from Christopher Fitzsimons, against a solitary point for the visitors to leave Saul comfortable victors on a 4-10 to 0-6 scoreline.

This was one of Saul’s better performances, and a real team performance, with everyone working hard and supporting each other.

A very noticeable aspect of their performance was the tremendous discipline shown in the face of some crude and robust tackling by the visitors.
