ACFL Div 4 Rd 10 : Thursday 7th June 2018
Kilmainhamwood 2-13 : 3-11 St. Brigid's
In what must go down as a superb game of football, Kilmainhamwood were narrowly edged out by their opponents in what was a pulsating game. The Wood started brightly with an excellent Stephan Kiernan (inset) point before a goal and a point put the Bridget's in the lead. However the Wood hit back quickly as Harry Corbally was fouled for a penalty which Kiernan netted. The Wood then started to get on top as Kiernan continued to kick some exquisite points. Then after 15 minutes a good run from Emmet Clarke found Kiernan with a pass who slapped it onto the on running Alan Carolan who calmly placed it into the bottom of the net. However the Brigid's fought back towards the end of the half with the score 2-7 to 2-5 at the break.
The Brigid's started of bright in the second half and the sides were level soon after. However Kiernans right boot kept the Wood in touch as both teams would go tit for tat in the second half. The men in Navy looked to have turned the tide with ten minutes to go but a fine Micheal Shankey point and another from Paddy Carolan pulled the Wood back in front. Two more superb frees from Kiernan who put on an exhibition of scoring (finishing with 1-10) looked to have eeked the Wood over the line. But deep into injury time The Bridgits kicked some scores to snatch a last second one point victory.
Best for the Wood were Andy Farrelly, Alan Carolan and Stephen Kiernan.
Kilmainhamwood: Damian Russell, Bernard Reilly, Philip Moran, Jude Collins, Alan Carolan (1-0), Emmet Clarke, David Carolan, Gary Yorke, Declan Reilly, David Russel (0-1), Andy Farrelly, Paul Carolan, Stephen Kiernan (1-10), Paddy Carolan (0-1), Harry Corbally.

ACFL Div 4 Rd 8 : Tuesday 22nd May 2018
Kilmainhamwood 3-10 - Drumcondrath 1-11
Kilmainhamwood ran out deserved winners in this north Meath derby and ended a bad run of losses in the league.
The men in white and blue started off brightly as David Russel kicked the opening point, before two Steven Kiernan points left them three up before the visitors could register their first score. A fine finish from David Russell saw the Wood get their first goal before a brilliant pass from Steven Kiernan set up Paddy Carolan for his first goal to leave the Wood 2-3 to 2 points to the good. Drumcondra fought back and kicked the next three scores before three fine points from Steven Kiernan, Gary Yorke and Andy Farrelly left the Wood with a seven-point advantage at the break.
Drumcondrath started off brighter at the start of the second half and registered the first two points before a second Paddy Carolan goal put the Wood eight points to the good. The two sides then traded points before a Drumcondrath goal with ten minutes to go left just five between the sides and the game was back on as a contest. But another Steven Kiernan point and a fisted effort from David Russell in the last few minutes meant that Drumcondrath would never breach the five-point gap.

Damian Russell, David Carolan, Pardaic Barber, Jude Collins, Alan Carolan, Emmet Clarke, Cathal Benneth, Andy Farrelly(0-1), Gary Yorke(0-2), Paul Carolan, Harry Corbally, Declan Reilly, David Russell (1-2), Steven Kiernan (0-5), Paddy Carolan (2-0).
