Curraha 0 - 8 Moynalvey 0 - 13
Some heavy rain before kick off made playing conditions very difficult but Moynalvey adapted better in the first half and playing with the slight hill in their favour, they opened the scoring through a Robbie Quinlan free. Further points from play by John Donoghue, Ciaran Collins and Ger McHale gave Moynalvey a four point lead before Ian McManus opened Curraha's account with a long range pointed effort.
Moynalvey continued to make chances and controversially had a goal disallowed for square ball after a long ball in from Brian Conneely was finished to the net by Ciaran Collins. However, further points from play by John Donoghue, James Weldon and Brian Conneely left the half time score at 0 - 7 to 0 - 2 in favour of the visitors.
Curraha started the second half strongly and aided by the elements went about cutting Moynalvey's lead by scoring the first 2 points of the half. This was as close as they got however, as Moynalvey kept responding and second half points from Stephen Donoghue, Damian Dixon, James Weldon, John Donoghue and two from Robbie Quinlan meant Moynalvey always kept that bit ahead. Curraha scored the final two points to leave five in it at the end.
This was a tough game for Moynalvey against a battling Curraha side and Moynalvey will be pleased to have secured their sixth league win of the campaign in a game where both midfielders and five of the six starting forwards got on the scoreboard from play.
