Some enterprising movement up front by Ryan Keane created space for Liam Carey and he slotted home to put the Launesiders ahead.
They doubled their lead 10 minutes later with some good pressure from Dylan O’Sullivan and Ryan Keane leaving Paul McKenna one on one with the AC keeper and he held his composure admirably and made it 2-0.
A C then enjoyed a good spell of possession but they could not get the better of Killorglin keeper Jason Browne who was in great form.

Then they made a few changes in personnel introducing Tony Lyons, Ricky Flaherty and Ryan O’Riordan which bolstered their confidence.
At this stage AC began to put on some pressure and they pulled one back in the 75th minute with a looping shot by Jordan Brick from 25 yards finding the back of the net. However, Killorglin held firm to the end to clinch the three league points.
