Boost for Kerry as Kilmoyley shock Cloyne

KERRY hurling received a timely boost at the weekend when county champions Kilmoyley defeated Cloyne (Cork) in the semi-final of the Munster Club SHL at Ballyhea.

Kilmoyley owed their 0-16 to 0-14 win, achieved after extra-time, to the brilliance of their full back line of Brendan Harris, Ian Brick and Sean Griffin who defied the best a near full strength Cloyne side had to offer.

“We knew we could compete at the highest level after doing so well against Toomevara in the Club championship”, said Kilmoyley coach John Meyler.
