Cruise for Kilcoo as Kingscourt are blown away

The Down champions nipped into the lead (0-4 to 0-3) after 20 minutes and never looked back.
Kinscourt opened the scoring with a Barry Reilly free (5). Both sides relied on quick counter-attacks and in a tight-marking game early on, just classy points from Jerome Johnston (Kilcoo) and Barry Reilly (Kingscourt) added some flavour as the sides shared six points by the 19th minute.
