Kilcummin just hang on

KILCUMMIN just about survived one of the most dramatic comebacks witnessed in the Kerry SFC over the last few years when they edged out Ardfert in a second round thriller last night.

After two Jamie O’Sullivan specials stretched their six-point half-time lead out to eight, 1-10 to 1-2, early in the second-half, the home side Kilcummin, having bossed the opening half, were odds-on to advance to the third round with a bit to spare.

But Ardfert, who were kept on the pitch for their half-time team-talk, suddenly burst into life and pinned Kilcummin back as they chipped away at the home side’s lead.
