Clincial Kildorrery cruise to victory over Delanys

Kildorrery 3-16 Delanys 1-7

Taking full advantage of Delanys’ shortcomings, Kildorrery moved in early for the kill and a superb ninth-minute goal from corner-forward Tom Monaghan launched last year’s junior runners-up on the high road to a runaway 15-point triumph.

Kildorrery were 1-3 to the good before Delanys got on the scoreboard when left half forward Dan Dineen kicked home a goal from the penalty spot at the end of the first quarter after centre-forward Paul Kelleher was fouled going through.
