Kilkenny revival continues with big win over Monaghan

Monaghan United 1 Kilkenny City 4

Monaghan flattered to deceive by taking the lead in the 40th minute when Graham Doyle beat Kilkenny goalkeeper John McGuinness with a looping header.

But two goals in the final minute of the half transformed the game in Kilkenny’s favour. Tadhg Purcell scored from close range after an incisive pass from Philip Sheppard. Then Sheppard himself volleyed home from 10 yards when a cross from Jamie Duffy found him unmarked.
