Éire Óg finish strongly to see off brave Kildorrery

Éire Óg 3-11 Kildorrery 1-10

However, Éire Óg deserve great credit because on a very hot day for football they kept battling and closed out the game with 2-2 to Kildorrery’s 0-1 in the final 10 minutes.

Six times the teams were level in a pulsating encounter. But, Kildorrery’s undoing was their poor shooting. A couple of goal chances escaped them in the opening 30 minutes and, despite being on the front foot after the resumption, they just couldn’t find the target. It eventually wore them down, as two of Éire Óg’s standout performers, John Dineen and Kevin Hallissey, got through for vital goals at the other end.
