Early second half scoring spree key to win

Kilworth 3-24 Blackrock 2-15

Our intermediate hurlers made it 3 wins from 4 games played in the RedFM Division 2 HL with victory over Blackrock’s second string, played at Church Road last Friday night. Leading by a single point 1-10 to 1-09 at the interval a scoring spree of 2-3 without reply inside the opening five minutes of the restart opened a ten-point lead and propelled the lads to a great win as they went on to outscore their city opponents 2-14 to 1-6 in that second half.

After a below par performance against Courcey Rovers in round 3 it was great to bounce back with a very encouraging and winning display. Next up is a home tie against Blarney on Thursday, May 5th.

Team and scorers: Kieran Walsh, Mike Gowen, Eoin McGrath, Maurice McNamara, Jamie Sheehan, Dave Twomey, Kieran Lane 0-1, Nathan Byrne, Luke Carey, Brian Sheehan, Noel McNamara 0-16 (0-9 f’s, 1 ‘65’), Leo Coffey, Liam Whelan 0-2, Eoin Carey 2-3, Jeromy Saich 1-2.
