The Dowling brothers Conor and David played very well, Dave Corkish, Mick Taylor and Iarla O'Donnell worked hard in defence.

Footnote: Once again only one umpire was available for this match. Kilmac lost a legitimate point due to no umpires been available. Each week at every game there is a controversial incident due to a lack of match officials. Surely players from both sides and at all age groups deserve better.
