Big win for Killorglin

DENNY YOUTHS LEAGUE Killarney Celtic 3 Killorglin 4

KILLORGLIN took the lead with prolific goalscorer Stephen O’Loughlin scoring from a great cross from Evan Madden. They doubled their lead when Eoin Clifford found Ronan O’Shea who finished off a fine move.

Just before the break Celtic’s Ryan Kelliher got the home team back in the game with a fine volley from the edge of the box.

Killorglin made it 3-1 early in the second minute of the second half through Eoin Clifford and should have made it four when O’Loughlin broke Celtic’s off side trap but he shot fractionally wide

This seemed to wake up the home side and they applied a lot of pressure but were denied by some great goalkeeping by Killorglin goalie Alex O’Connor.

However, their persistence eventually paid off and goals from Liam Spillane and Adam Maye Keane brought the game to parity.

With time nearly up Stephen O’Loughlin had one final chance from a great ball from Eoin Clifford and made no mistake this time and Killorglin took all three points keeping them top of the Section B of the Youths League at the halfway stage.
