Tony Kirwan Plant Hire Eastern Football League:- The weather couldnt have been different from our opening game to Dunhill to last Saturday evenings game with St Mollerans in Portlaw. On this occasion beautiful sunshine greeted the teams and their was a touch of summer about it. If we get one out of jail card for the season we certainly used it up last sat evening as we somehow eked out a win against what looked like certain defeat at several stages of the game.

    A quiet opening half, which saw the Carrickbeg side lead by the minimum, 0-5 to 0-4 at the break, exploded into life in the second half. On the resumption John Flynn quickly equalised but mollerans kicked on with the aid of the hill and scored 1-3 without reply to open up a 6 point lead for the first time. Ray Hennessy did reply with a green flag but it was the carrickbeg outfit who kicked on again to re-establish that 6 point lead with 10 mins remaining. Still Kill were battling away and a few shrewd positional changes and the introduction of young Ciaran Kirwan were to have a match changing effect. First John Flynn sent a rocket to the corner of the net to set the ball rolling. Points from Ben and Ciaran now had the margin down to the minimum with time almost up. A few chances then went a begging before in a final throw of the dice Kill worked the ball up the field where Fergie Whelan found himself with the ball in hand and only the goalie to beat, which he duly did, to send the Kill followers into raptures as referee Ml O Brien blew the final whistle. Final score Kill 3-9 St Mollerans 1-11 .
