Credit Union Co League Gneeveguilla V Kilcummin, 14th May 2023
Kilcummin began well in this game aided by the wind in the first half and led 1-3 to no score after 10 minutes, with Shane mc Sweeney finding the net. After 25minutes gone Kilcummin led 1-7 to 3 points and were unlucky not to add another goal, the crossbar saving the home team. This seemed to ignite Gneeveguilla and within the next 5 minutes they had three goals scored and taken the lead. The half time score was Gneeveguilla 3-4, to Kilcummin 1-8.
Kilcummin introduced Noel Duggan and James Williams. This saw Eoin O Donovan move to wing back which seemed to bring Kilcummin back into the game. They dominated the next 15 to 20 minutes scoring 1 – 5 without reply. A cracking goal from Donal Maher and a Paul O Shea dispatched penalty on the 55th minute to leave the scores 3-10 to 3-13. Gneeveguilla kept attacking and forced Brendan Kealy to make a spectacular save with 3 minutes or so remaining. Kilcummin were not prepared to try and hold the 3 point lead with 4 minutes injury time to be played. A great move from defence all the way to the full forward line resulted in a Noel Duggan goal. The final score was Gneeveguilla 3-10 to Kilcummin 4-13.
There were many very good performances on the Kilcummin side but Eoin O Donovan’s contribution in the second half from wing back was immense and saw him intercept ball after ball and launch many of the Kilcummin attacks which brought them back into the game and keep them in contention at the top of Division 1.
Scorers for Kilcummin:
Paul O Shea 1-4
Shane Mc Sweeney, Donal Maher and Noel Duggan – One goal each.
Cian Foley – 2 points
Philip Casey – 2 points
Points each for , Chris O Leary, James Nagle, Mark O Shea, Sean O Leary and Eoin O Donovan

Sean Doolan scored the goal after a brilliant pass by Luke Daly while Gavin Morrissey, Keelan O Shea , Cian Forde and Sean Doolan were our point takers.
