KILDORRERY 6-04 TRINITY GAELS 4-15

Our Minor C footballers disappointed when losing to Trinity Gaels 6-4 to 4-15,in the championship at Doneraile, last Thursday evening. This was a game which Kilodorrery had controlled in the opening half, and at the end of which they led by double scores 2-4 to 1-2. The winners began their come-back from the restart, with two points within three minutes, but Kildorrery replied with two goals in the next four minutes, but failed to score again until three minutes into the last quarter, by which time Trinity had increased their tally to 3-8 leaving them just two points in arrears. From this point to the end, our boys were tiring and Gaels piled on the pressure running out deserving winners on the above score.

Team and scorers: Tony Watson, Niall Higgins, Mattie Walsh-O’Grady, P.J.Keating 1-0, Ian Butler 0-1, Paddy Hartnett, Dylan Kent 2-0, Padraig Walsh, Anthony Crowley 2-0 (1-0 pen), John Hunter, Cathal Harrington 1-3 (0-1f), Cathal Walsh-O’Grady.

KILDORRERY 2-22 MILFORD 1-18

At the home venue, last Saturday evening, our Intermediate hurlers made a remarkable and heart-warming recovery in the second half, to score a well-merited five point victory over Milford in the Division 2 league. Playing with the aid of the fresh breeze, in the opening half, Milford looked the sharper side and at the end of the first quarter were 0-7 to 0-4 ahead. Kildorrery, however, did add five points to their tally before the end of the half, but it was the visitors who led at that juncture 1-12 to 0-9. After the resumption of play, Kildorrery began their recovery from the word go. Having won possession from the throw-in, the ball ended up in the Milford net courtesy of Peter O’Brien. Less than two minutes later, Dave Kelly added a point and the margin was down to two . Finbarr Stapleton with a goal put Kildorrery ahead by the minimum. By the end of the third quarter, the winners led 2-16 to 1-17. They continued to drive forward adding six points to their tally, while confining Milford to a single point. It was not so much the winning margin which was so satisfying as the manner in which it was achieved.
