Kilmainhamwood responded in kind with 2 pointed efforts from Rian Stafford. Kilmainhamwood ground into gear and were unlucky to not have a goal on the board after a disallowed Niall Bennett goal early in the first half. This didnt deter the Wood and they kept the pressure on a few minutes later a low driven shot from Rian Stafford hit the wrong side on the side netting to go narrowly wide. Aidan Roche kicked a free to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
