Kildorrery edge out Carrignavar after thriller

Kildorrery 1-15 Carrignavar 1-14

The first-half saw Kildorrery, aided by the wind, start at a blistering pace with Michael Walsh, Dave Kelly, Eamon O’Connor and the O’Brien brothers surging forward at every opportunity.

At the end of the first quarter the Avondhu champions were full value for their 0-7 to 0-1 lead. As the half progressed Carrignavar gradually settled with Con Burns dropping back as a seventh defender in an attempt to crowd out the threat imposed by Kildorrery’s top marksman Peter O’Brien.
