Sweet revenge for unbeaten Bective.
Bective, on home ground, were well prepared to avenge a “solid beating” dished out by Dunsany at their last meeting in 2017 in league competition. Bective started stronger and played with control and conviction, albeit against a very strong wind, with Marty Mulhall converted a free kick on 7 minutes. This was quickly followed by a fine goal from Brian Cantwell on 10 minutes and he added a point one minute later. Bective lost Michael Lyness to injury and he was replaced by Ciaran Mc Connell. Dunsany pointed but Marty Mulhall shot home a penalty on 13 minutes and added 2 points from frees. Mark O’Brien chipped in with a point on 17 minutes and follows up with a third goal on 24 minutes. Dunsany score a further point on 25 minutes and Brian Cantwell adds a point on 30 minutes. Dunsany finish the scoring with a point on 31 minutes to leave the half time score at: Bective 3-6, Dunsany 0-3.
The second half began with Bective, now playing into the wind, continuing building their lead with a point from Marty Mulhall Dunsany reply with a pointed free on 2 minutes, and again on 8 minutes. Still Bective dominated the exchanges and added points from Colin O’Rourke, Mark O’Brien , Brian Cantwell and a point from play and a free kick from Paul McCabe. Dunsany complete their tally with 2 pointed frees.
This was a strong display from Bective and they now have 6 points out of 3 games.
