FOOTBALLLERS INTO FINAL: The Kilmoganny U 14 footballers advanced to their championship
final by beating fellow Southern team Glenmore in a Sunny but cool Dunnamaggin
on Friday last. Kilmoganny were very dominate in the opening twenty minutes
with Denis Walsh, Adam Farrell and Darragh O’Keeffe (2) splitting the uprights
with Ian Walsh and Darragh Walsh also finding the net during the same period.
Glenmore finally got out of their own half on the 20^th minute and
from the resulting attach the ball made its way to the back of the Kilmoganny net.
They followed this up with a fine point. Kilmoganny did respond with fine
scores through Darragh Walsh to send the sides in on a half time score line of Kilmoganny
2 - 06 Glenmore 1 – 01

Kilmoganny got the scoreboard moving in the second half with a fine
point from Adam Farrell only for Glenmore to respond with a well taken goal.
Eddie Dunne was accurate with the placed ball only for Glenmore to again
respond with a point. As the game moved into the final quarter Kilmoganny
pushed on for home and the constant work-rate of Ian Walsh, Dylan Crehan, Adam
Farrell, Harry Walsh and Conor Hoban was starting to break down their
opponents. A fine goal from Adam Farrell and points from Eddie Dunne (2) nudged
their team closer to victory. Conor Hoban then got in on the action and duly
rattled the net. Adam Farrell finished the scoring for Kilmoganny with a point
before Glenmore got a goal from a long ball in which sneaked into the top
corner of the net. The final score was Kilmoganny 4 - 11 Glenmore 3 – 03
