Killorglin comeback leaves Críost Rí shell-shocked

IS Killorglin 1-13 Coláiste Chríost Rí 2-10

With 15 minutes to go the Killorglin side were still nine points adrift and looked to be heading for a heavy defeat, but inspired by the brilliance of their intercounty minor John Buckley and a couple of well timed substitutions, they eventually drew level with a goal by Ciaran Doyle just before full time to share the spoils.

It was a result that didn’t look remotely possible for three quarters of the game as the Capwell School went on a scoring spree after a shaky start. It took good defending by Dean Twomey and Keith Punch to prevent ISK from taking an early lead, but once Críost Rí settled, the Killorglin side had no answer to the excellence of Brian Coughlan, Ian Leahy and Greg Browne.
