Kilmallock stand up to torrid test

Kilmallock 1-15 Adare 0-15

Kilmallock were marginally the better side but it came down to a goal in the end as a doughty Adare belied their pre-game status as rank outsiders.

“We knew coming in it was going to be very physical, that there was going to be nothing in it,” said a very relieved Gavin O’Mahony, Kilmallock centre-back and how right he was.
