COUNTY CHAMPIONS: The Kilmoganny U14 footballers were crowned county Champions on in a
bitterly cold afternoon in Dunnamaggin on Saturday last. Eddie Dunne signalled
Kilmoganny's intent from the throw in and split the posts. This was followed up
with a point from Denis Walsh on the 5^th minute. The game ebbed and
flowed for both sides but it was not till the 17^th minute when Andy
Hickey got the games next score, a point. This seemed to spark the Ballyhale
lads on and from their next attack they struck the back of the net. They
immediately followed this up with a point from play to put them into the lead
with 10 minutes on the clock till half time. Some great tackling and blocking
from the tidy full back line of Alex Moore, Adam Fitzpatrick and Dylan Crehan
soon stemmed any further attacks and gave a platform for the all Walsh half
back line of Darragh, Ian and Harry to continue to fed the Kilmoganny attack.
Eddie Dunne and Andy Hickey made the most of the possession by pointing from
play just before half time. Half – time Kilmoganny 0 - 05 Ballyhale Shamrocks 1
– 01.

Ballyhale started the second half best and from their first attack
found the net again. They continued to exert pressure on the Kilmoganny goal
and but for some heroics by the Dunamaggin backs and Goalie Dylan Carroll could
have scored. Kilmoganny had however made some key positional switches at half
time and they were starting to play very impressive football. Their first real
attach of the second half saw Denis Walsh just hitting the side netting. Robbie
McCauley then pointed from play after an initial free in by Denis Walsh to put
the minimum between the teams. Then after great work by Ian Walsh, Denis Walsh
coolly found the back of the net to nudge his team in front. From there on the
Dunamaggin team did not look back. Ian Walsh combined with Darragh O’Keeffe
(now playing in the backs) as they really started to grab the game by the
scruff of the neck and refused to allow the Ballyhale forwards any space. Adam
Farrell then pointed again from play. Andy Hickey then split the posts again
midway through the half after a great solo run by Adam Farrell down the right
hand side fed the ball into him. Ballyhale did sneak a point back but despite
their efforts Kilmoganny had the momentum. Eddie Dunne then coolly found the
back of the net after some great play between Conor Brett and Andy Hickey.
Robbie McCauley then added to his tally after yet another good run up the right
side from Adam Farrell put the ball in and Robbie turned and hit the back of
the net. Adam Farrell and Andy Hickey made way for Daniel O’Neill and Ger
Coffey with 5 minutes remaining. Ballyhale did have the last say of the game
with a very well taken goal but it was enough to stop the Kilmoganny lads
winning the trophy. The final score was: Kilmoganny 3 - 08 Ballyhale Shamrocks
3 - 02.
