U21 Southern Final

24/11/2012
The Dunnamaggin U21’s were defeated in a well contested Southern final in a Damp Piltown on Saturday afternoon. William Phelan opened the scoring with a well taken point on the 5th minute but Kilmacow responded with two of their own shortly after. This followed a period of dominance from Dunnamaggin but it only yielded one point from Kieran Bergin. Kilmacow then pointed only for Bergin to Level again. Great fielding from Bergin and Peter Kenneally together with great work from Phelan at Centre back kept the pressure on Kilmacow but only yield one further point from Bergin as the wide tally mounted. Kilmacow converted another free and the sides went in level 4ponts each at Half Time.
It was Kilmacow who started the second half better and forced and excellent save from the very solid Adam Kenneally in Goal. Conor Coffey now on for Michael Costello was causing the Kilmacow defence headaches and initiated a good move which nearly resulted in a Goal for Dunnamaggin. However it was Kilmacow who were converting their chances with four points to Dunnamaggin’s one (Bergin).The Dunnamaggin Defence was becoming under increasing pressure but Anthony Kearney at full back and William Moylan in the Corner stopped any goal treat and we’re exceptional throughout. Dunnamaggin with John Fitzpatrick on for Paddy Power then took the initiative and through points from Paddy Delany and Willie Phelan kept them in the game but Kilmacow pointed immediately and then dealt the crucial blow when they hit the back of the net capitalising on a mix-up in the Dunnamaggin defence. William Phelan Converted another long range free but it was Kilmacow who added further points to run out winners on a score line of Dunnamaggin 8pts Kilmacow 1:11 Panel:- Adam Kenneally, Conor Long, Anthony Kearney, William Moylan, Paul Kirwan, Willie Phelan, Aaron Doherty, Peter Kenneally, Andrew Fitzpatrick, Michael Costello, Kieran Bergin, Paddy Power, Andrew O’Dwyer, Paddy Delaney, Eoghan Kearney, John O’Neill, John Fitzpatrick, Ray Cody, William Bergin, Paddy Kenneally, Jason Doherty, Conor Coffey, Mathew Moylan
