Durnin the difference as Westerns prevail in derby against Sean McDermott's

Division 3B

Westerns 1-10 Sean McDermott's 1-6

There is no doubt that the difference between the teams was county midfielder Tommy Durnin who had an outstanding match playing a part in all of the home side’s scores.

Once he gained procession, the Seans found it very difficult to hold him, but having said that the visitors could have been in a much better position at the break after squandering two goal chances and not taking advantage of a strong wind.

The home side made much better use of the elements in the second half, placing the county man up front and getting the ball to him at every opportunity, while Ciarán Campbell scored the vital goal.

Once again Danny Commins had an outstanding match for the Seans, while goalscorer Lorcan Myles, along with Seán McMahon and Peter Osborne were others to catch the eye.
