- 20/01/03
Dublin........3-19 v Down..........1-14
@ Naomh Mearnog, Portmarnock on Sunday the 19th January
2003
Dublin recorded a comfortable victory over Down in this
historic Leinster Hurling Match. Down who only entered the
Walsh Cup two weeks ago will come away from the game with
great experience gained. Marty Morris' the new Dublin hurling
manager will also be happy to get his tenure off on the
right foot.
The Dubs were never troubled, with Johnny
McGuirk, Kevin Flynn and Kevin Ryan all finding the net
inside the first 13 minutes. Down responded with four points
from Paul Braniff and a Martin Coulter goal, but they still
trailed by 1 - 08 to 3 - 09 at the break.
Dublin maintained their advantage on the restart with Conal
Keaney's superb point after 47 minutes proving the highlight
of the half. In the final 10 minutes, the home side hit
five points without reply per Liam Ryan (three), Shane Martin
and Flynn to ensure Morris of his first competitive win.
