All County A Football League Division 4 Round 2 : Sunday 5th February 2018
Kilmainhamwood 2-7 Kilbride 0-14
Kilmainhamwood got their division 4 season off to a poor start with a one-point loss to Kilbride.
Kilbride started off the brighter with two good scores, before Kilmainhamwood began to completely dominate kicking 6 scores without reply, as David Russell, Micheal Shankey and Paddy Carolan all scored two points. However, Kilbride got back into the game with three late points to leave the Wood just a point up at the break.
The Wood dominated the opening exchanges of the second half as Micheal Shankey kicked a good score before David Russell punched a great goal from a pass from Paddy Carolan. Kilbride dominated the rest of the game kicking the next six points in a row to leave them a point up with five minutes remaining. David Russell looked to have won the game for the wood when his shot looped over the keeper and ended up in the back of the net. Once again though, Kilbride came back strong and kicked the final three scores to eek their way past the north Meath men.
Kilmainhamwood: Damian Russell, David Carolan, Padraic Barber, Sean Mulligan, Ronald Owens, Cathal Bennett, Harry Corbally, Andy Farrelly, Emmet Clarke, Paul Carolan, Alan Carolan, Declan Reilly, David Russell (2-2), Paddy Carolan (0-2), Micheal Shankey (0-3). Subs, Conor Kiernan for Declan Reilly, Ryan Gilespie for Micheal Shankey, Richard Corbally for Harry Corbally
