Kilmainhamwood put in a hard performance versus Clonard on a glorious Saturday evening but were unable to come away with a result. 

The Wood started brightly with an Alan Carolan point before Clonard slowly turned the game and lead by 5 to 1 after 20 minutes. The Wood however fought back and two David Russell points followed by a point from Paul Carolan and a free from Gary Yorke saw the sides level at 5 points apiece at half time.

The Wood then started brightly in the second half as an early David Russel point and a brilliant score from Declan Reilly saw the Wood start to dominate the game. Clonard pulled one back before a turnover led to a counter attack goal which put Clonard two in front. Gary Yorke kept the Wood in touch with some magnificent free taking and the score read 1-10 to 10 with 7 minutes remaining. The Wood squandered and excellent goal chance soon after. Points from Andy Farrelly and David Russell were equaled by Clonard as they were able to maintain their one goal advantage for a close victory. 

Best for Wood were Gary Yorke, David Carolan and David Russell
