Joyce hat-trick eases Killererin through

Padraic Joyce rolled back the clock with a blistering hat-trick as Killererin sealed their spot in the Galway SFC quarter-finals yesterday.

Joyce rattled the net with a first-half penalty for the 2010 champions as Killererin held a 2-8 to 0-4 lead over Naomh Anna Leitir Mor at half-time.

Goals from Fiachra and Ferdia Breathnach in the opening minutes of the second-half pulled the Gaeltacht men within three, but Joyce sealed the win with two more goals in a 4-15 to 2-12 victory.
