Game turns on second goal

THE respective management teams at Quilty yesterday for the AIB Munster Club SFC semi-final were agreed on one thing: the game turned on Kilmurry/Ibrickane’s second goal just before half time.

“It was the crucial score, as was the point just after half time”, said Kilmurry manager Pat O’Dwyer. “Instead of going in with a four point lead that goal gave us a cushion of seven points, and I felt we were good enough to win from that position.

“That goal gave us a tremendous boost for the second half and then getting the first score in the second half was also another crucial factor. We displayed tremendous resilience when Milltown came back at us and reduced our eight-point advantage to three. It was then you saw our side at its very best.
