Photograph: Evan Logan/InphoThere were pointed words about PowerPoint presentations in Irish football in the week leading up to this game. However, were someone, in Abbotstown or elsewhere, tasked with producing slides on the strengths of this league, they would be glad of a game like this to source some fantastic material.

For the first, he was slightly fortunate to have had the benefit of deflections from both centre halves, Luke Turner and Joe Redmond.
Mason Melia’s introduction at the break was a telling intervention, as St Pat’s attempted to pin in their hosts. The youngster carried menacingly and drove forward at every opportunity. Jake Mulraney showed class on the right to break free. His low drive was snuffed out by Esua perilously close to the line.
