Return of county men fails to inspire
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-15 Summerhill…1-24 The return of county U-20s Eoin McCrudden, Charlie Gallagher and John Harkin failed to provide the expected spark as Dunboyne fell to a second defeat in the FL Div. 1 on Saturday evening last away to the county champions.
