Congratulations to the Under 17 footballers who recorded a 4-4 to 1-7 victory over Éire Óg Annacarty/Emly last Thursday evening in Drombane in the County ‘B’ Semi Final.

The West combo led 1-1 to 1-0 after the opening ten minutes, with James O’Dwyer raising Kiladangan’s first green flag. Tom Boland struck Kiladangan’s second goal approaching half-time, giving Kiladangan a 2-2 to 1-2 advantage at the break. James O’Dwyer netted his second goal early in the second half to push five points clear (3-2 to 1-3), before Cian Kinsella added another goal a few minutes later. The defence stood firm for the remainder of the game to secure a fully deserved win.

Kiladangan Scorers:

James O’Dwyer 2-0, Tom Boland 1-0, Cian Kinsella 1-0, JP Flannery 0-2, Rian McGrath 0-1, Simon Cleary 0-1.
