Sympathies
All at Kildorrery GAA, Ladies Football and Camogie Club were deeply saddened at the news in the village this weekend at the passing of former player, Jer Spillane. It was an honour for the club to support his fundraisers in 2020 and he will be remembered fondly by the club for his service. A guard of honour of club members took place at O’Sullivan Funeral Home, Kilbehenny on Sunday evening and the club would like to express its sincere thanks to all who were able to attend. A sad weekend in the village was further compounded at the loss of Bridie Linehan, Hillcrest and Post Office and we send our deepest condolences to all her family at this time also.
To both families we send our heartfelt condolences.
Kildorrery draw first round of football versus Glenville
On Saturday our intermediates kicked off their football campaign with their match at glenville. This was a closely fought match that finished in a draw. There were some positive passages of play and moment the team will reflect on in terms of improvement for the future in terms of chances missed.
The First point came from a free from Jamie O’Gorman before Glenville opened with their first two points to lead by one after five minutes. They extended this lead again by another point before Anthony Crowley responded with a point. Sean Desmond was playing very well for Glenville and he kicked his third point to give them a four point to two lead. Glenville scored another before Jamie responded with another point to keep that lead at a minimum. Glenville stretched it out again through Sean Desmond and this drove Kildorrery to kick on to create two distinguished goal chances that we failed to convert.
Glenville scored again to lead seven points to three before the strong rally and response from Kildorrery with points from Dylan kent, Peter O briean Jamie o Gorman and James Keating meant that at half time it was seven points apiece.
The response at the end of the first half was built on the back of good momentum and we brought this in to the second half with points from James keating and Jamie which meant we led by two. At this stage Pierce Piggott was introduced for James O Sullivan. Pierce did well when he came on. We traded points on the 45 minute mark with James McEniry kicking for kildorery. Glenville kicked successive points and eventually Desmond who did most of the damage for Glenville brought it level. Sean Cunningham came on for the injured O Gorman at this stage. Jamie played a great match as did others like will fouhy who carried throughout impressively. Glenville scored the next two points and we were down two.Kieran Hurley came on for Dylan Kent and on the 55th minute Anthony Crowley kicked a forty five to leave us trailing by one. It took an equalizer by james keating to share the spoils. Well done to the team who for showing the determination to bounce back and draw.
