RAHENY AND ST SYLVESTER’S both made winning starts to the Dublin SFC tonight.
Raheny’s Group 1 opener threw up competition in the form of St Oliver Plunketts Eoghan Ruadh, and Brian Fenton’s club outfit led right from the get-go.
Firmly in the driving seat in Garristown by half-time, they were 1-6 to 0-4 ahead. Two further goals — one from the penalty spot — in the second period propelled them to a 3-8 to 0-14 win.
Tonight’s sole Group 3 fixture saw St Sylvester’s go head-to-head with Parnells in Balgriffin.

At the break, Sylvester’s — who bowed out at the quarter final stage to eventual champions St Vincent’s last year — had clocked up an eight-point lead with the score standing 0-12 to 0-4. Interestingly, Stephen Cluxton lined out at centre-half back.
