League leaders prevail

Charleville are top of the 13's league and were comfortable winners against a weakened Galbally side on Saturday. Bobby Burke's boys were minus 7 from their squad and Charleville also had a couple of their stars on sick bay. The visitors battled bravely for much of the game but wilted under a late, merciless onslaught which brought goals from substitutes Dale Ahern and a brace for Jessie Smith and one for Tony Curtin. Peter Danjanovic nodded in the the crucial opener after 20 minutes, David Jones hit the second  and PJ Hehir was fearless in midfield.
