IHC: Puck of a ball between Dunderry and Kilskyre

October 10, 2014

Kilskyre's Seanie Geraghty gives chase to Luke Martyn Dunderry.

Dunderry and Kilskyre will contest the Meath Intermediate Hurling Championship final this Sunday at Pairc Tailteann.

Both teams came from Group A. Drumree topped that group, Dunderry second and Kilskyre third.  Both teams lost to championship favourites Drumree. No less than 16 members of the Kilskyre panel were part of the Ballinlough squad that won the IFC title at Pairc Tailteann.

The teams met in round 4 with Dunderry coming out on top by a point. The teams were level at the break 1-6 to 0-9. The goal came when John Moran's speculative high ball ended up in the Kilskyre net. In a low scoring second half Dunderry aided by some great goalkeeping from Tom Doherty kept Kilskyre at bay. Final score Dunderry 1-11 Kilskyre 0-13
