John J. Murphy Junior Football Championship:-
Our junior footballers travelled to Roanmore last Tuesday night 4th August, to take on the home team in the penultimate game of the league section championship. Very much the underdogs going into this game, we started brightly with Brian Flynn opening the scoring in the first minute. But that was as good as it got for us as the city men dominated possession in the opening half despite playing against the stiffish breeze. For long spells we held them out but a scoring burst just before Noel Kellys whistle at half time left them leading by 1-6 to 0-1. The second half saw Kill make a better fist of it even though Roanmore extended their lead in the early stages with another goal. Good points from Donagh Lennon, Ollie St. John and David Casey, aided by a converted Anthony Raher penalty put a bit of respectability on the scoreboard. Michael Mooney also did his bit between the sticks, while our chairman, Brendan Mooney, made his debut for the year, and with his son, Ger, became the second 'father and son' act to line out for the club this year. Final score Kill 1-4 Roanmore 3-14.
The Team was:- Michael Mooney, David Casey, Niall Flynn, Flannan Cleary, Peter Kelly, Jim Murphy, Stevie Kirwan, Davy Gooney, Anthony Raher, Brendan Mooney, Donagh Lennon, Brian Flynn, Ger Mooney, Ollie St. John, Liam Lennon. Subus used:- Kevin Walsh.
We have one game remaining against our neighbours Bunmahon where a win or a draw will see us qualify for the quarter finals. By the time you read these notes this game may or may not have taken place, as no concrete fixture is set.

Club Lotto:- We had no winner of the jackpot worth 10K at last Monday nights draw as Ursula O' Donnell, Kill Village had 3 of the 4 numbers drawn and wins €50 for herself. For the record the numbers drawn were 17, 24, 26 and 30. The next draw is in Kirwans where the 10K is still up for grabs.
