De La Salle 2-24; Stradbally 1-8
County champions De La Salle got the defence of their title off to a very good start when they enjoyed an emphatic 19-point victory over Stradbally in Walsh Park last Saturday evening.
A Robert Ahearne free cancelled out John Mullane’s opening score; the De La Salle talisman cutting a refreshed figure upon return from his honeymoon.
