Just like the Geraldines did so in the intermediate grade, Hunterstown Rovers yesterday booked their place in the Leinster Club JFC final after beating Birr by 2-15 to 0-6 in Offaly.
A Ryan Burns goal on 12 minutes set the Mid-Louth men on their way as they led by 1-6 to 0-2 at the break.
Hunterstown then added three more points on the restart before Alan Landy grabbed a second goal on 39 minutes to effectively seal in the game as they coasted to victory with six further points late on.
They now meet Kildare’s Two Mile House in Newbridge in two weeks’ time.
Hunterstown Rovers: Alan Fedigan; Brian Matthews, Ciaran Carrie, Paddy Matthews; Martin Lennon 0-1, Keith Brennan, David Finn 0-1; Tony McKenna, Conor Matthews; Maurice O’Sullivan 0-1, Paul Carrie 0-4, Brendan Lennon 0-1; Alan Landy 1-1, Ryan Burns 1-3, Padraig Matthews 0-1. Subs: David Fedigan 0-1 for Padraig Matthews, Richie Taaffe 0-1 for K Brennan, Robbie McNiece for M Lennon, Niall Taaffe for M O’Sullivan, Robert Clarke for A Landy.
