Kilmoganny - U15 Football Champions. The Kilmoganny U15 footballers took on Young Irelands in the Final of the Roinn B football Championship on Sunday morning last in Dunmore.Kilmoganny started well and were working the ball very well and were well in control in the opening exchanges and went four point up with scores from Noah Cahill (2), Darragh Lyons (free) and Pierce Costello(1pt).Kilmoganny could've also had a goal but it went wide. It was not till the 24th minute that Young Irelands scored their opening point. Kilmoganny responded well with points from Jamie Tallon and Pierce before Young Irelands broke forward and managed to scramble a goal into the back of the Kilmoganny net. They followed this up with another point to leave the minimum between the sides at the break with Kilmoganny having played most of the football but not getting the scores. The second half was a real tight battle with both sides giving it their all and bodies starting to tire. It was really a case of who could have battled it out and wanted it the most. Young Ireland pushed ahead by 2 as we headed into the final 10 mins and they seemed to be getting the edge but a well worked move saw Tim Doherty slot the coolest goal under pressure you would see to put the Kilmoganny men back in front by one 9 left on the clock. Young Irelands to their credit came straight down the field to draw it all up again as the clock moved closer to the finish. Kilmoganny broke forward again and Tim was the man who stepped up and slotted over from play. Time was just up but the play continued into injury time only for young Irelands to be fouled on the 21 yard line and it seemed that we were heading for extra time as it was straight in front of posts, However the resultant free was just short and the Kilmoganny men managed to get a hand on it and sheppard it out of danger and maintain possession until the ref blew the final whistle to signal that the County title was heading our way. A great way to finish the year off. Young Irelands 1:07 Kilmoganny 1:08
