Kill 3-09 Suncroft 3-14
Kill senior footballers played host to Suncroft on Sunday last and both sides served up an excellent game of football. Kill opened the brightly and a fine team goal finished by Matthew Ryan put the home side in the lead after 5 minutes.
Kill failed to build on that early lead and Suncroft through county player Fionn Dowling equalised after 15 minutes to the Kill net.
Suncroft with the wind on their backs lead by 4 points with 5 minutes remaining in the opening half but three quick-fire Alan Wren scores brought the gap back to 1-05 to 1-06 at the break.
The opening quarter of the second half produced end to end football, and early scores from Suncroft were cancelled out with a goal from Dara Challaneer after good work by Stephen Skelton.
Moments later Kevin Crowe put Kill back into the lead with a well-taken point. However, from that point onwards the visitors took the game by the scruff of the neck and rattled off 2-04 to lead by 9 points with time almost up, but another Wren point from a free followed by a goal from Matthew Ryan reduced the gap to 5 points.
