Blarney’s goals too much for Kilworth

For most of the hour, there wasn’t much between them but Kilworth were rocked twice by Blarney goals, and while they did get back each time and even got to within a point midway through the second half, being reduced to 13 players in the closing stages proved too much for them.
With just three points separating the sides, firstly Kilworth centre back Nathan Byrne received a straight red card in the 54th minute and then two minutes later, Brian Tobin was flashed a second yellow. Despite the best efforts of the players on the field, the numerical imbalance was too much to ask.
