Kilmoyley give Crotta O’Neill’s a drubbing

Last year’s beaten finalists Crotta O’Neill’s were hammered by former champs Kilmoyley in the opening round of the Kerry SHC yesterday (3-26 to 0-8) at Austin Stack Park.

Kerry’s Shane Brick, scored nine points, before he was called ashore 10 minutes into the second-half, but it mattered little as Kilmoyley led 1-13 to 0-5 at the interval, with Daniel Collins, scoring the goal on the stroke of half time.

It was 3-21 to 0-6 by the 50th minute, with further goals from Andy McCarthy and James McCarthy and with full-forward Sean Maunsell scoring 0-5, it was left to Shane Nolan with six points from frees, to afford Crotta O’Neill’s some degree of respectability.
