Shock as Kinnegad are relegated
August 30, 2010The shock result means that Coralstown/Kinnegad, who came within a whisker of contesting last year's county final, will ply their trade at intermediate level next year. After parting company with former Meath manager Colm Coyle after the second round of the championship, local hero Jack Cooney took up the managerial reins, but was unable to stop them from making the drop for the first time in over 20 years.
Coralstown/Kinnegad looked set to survive when they led St. Malachy's by five points 10 minutes into the second half, but despite having a player sent off, the Castletown-Geoghegan men rallied with a 48th minute goal from Sean Whelan and a succession of Alan Mangan frees to condemn the Reds to relegation.
