Adrian Mullen drives St Kieran’s four-in-a-row bid

The Ballyhale Shamrocks player helped himself to 2-9 as the Saints dismantled St Brigid’s of Loughrea and kept their charge for a fourth successive Croke Cup very much alive.

St Brigid’s were no slouches in the early stages at Tullamore and started like a train. Using their pace to devastating effect they ran at Kieran’s in the opening minutes, taking the lead with points from Dylan Towolawi and Damian McGlynn. Though a Mullen brace soon had Kieran’s back on level terms. St Brigid’s continued to be a real handful, with Donal Mannion leading the charge as they pressed for a way through the Kieran’s defence. However, once Kieran’s found their own rhythm they proved unstoppable.
