Kickhams the pick of early pace-setters
That trio are locked on two points apiece at the top of the table but crucially Ballymun Kickhams have a game on hand after yesterday’s opening matches. The Dublin champions enjoyed a narrow 1-4 to 0-3 victory over Na Piarsaigh with the Cork city outfit having earlier defeated Mayo representatives Claremorris by 2-4 to 1-4.
Cathal Walsh bagged the goal for Claremorris in that game while earlier Mikey Higgins and Sean Conroy had raised green flags in their 2-11 to 3-1 victory over Charleville. The battle between north Cork rivals Charleville and Mallow ended in a 2-2 to 1-5 draw.
