Kilcoole get past Laragh Second half goals were key

JAFC at Ashford Kilcoole’s tally, keeping their side ahead. It was Kilcoole’s goalkeeper Glen Corcoran however, that saved the game for the side as he pulled off two excellent saves after finding himself one on with Laragh’s Damien Hanlon.

Laragh kept up the momentum as Hanlon then went on to knock over a point following a Mark Miley score just seconds before but the two goals were what really made the difference in the teams and it was Kilcoole who came out victorious.

Kilcoole’s Luke Reilly was given a black card in the last few minutes of the game which saw the return of Kevin Condon in his place, but Condon then found himself picking up a red card in the last second of the game and will therefore miss out on the next round.
