Kickhams get off to a flyer

Pre-championship favourites Ballymun Kickhams got their Dublin SFC campaign off to a winning start as they recorded a comfortable victory over Naomh Olaf at Parnell Park last night.

The 2012 winners struggled initially, with James Burke palming into his own net within 20 seconds and Kickhams fell further behind following a brace of fine scores by Shane Whyte.

However, Kickhams dominated the final 10 minutes of the half with scores by Derek Byrne and Liam O’Donovan ensuring a 0-9 to 1-4 interval lead.
