Crecora gave their best performance of the season so far with a great victory over a strong Kilteely Drumkeen outfit.

We had 15 players for this 13 aside game and all were used and to a man each of them gave a battling performance with a passion and hunger for the game.

First half scores came from Edwin Wixted 3pts, Michael Bateman 1 goal and a point, Shane O’Connell 1 goal and a point and Conor Kirby 1 point to leave the half time score: Crecora Manister 2 – 6  Kilteely Drumkeen 0 – 4

Second half saw more of the same with great scores coming from Conor Kirby 2 goals and 3 points, Michael Bateman another goal and point, Shane O’Connell a goal and point, Edwin another point and one from John Blake.

Backs and forwards alike were brilliant with big performances from Evan Keogh, Mark Shanahan and Cian Leahy  our inspirational Centre back who sadly had to go off after receiving a blow to his hand. It subsequently turns out to be a broken finger and another dislocated so he will be out for the rest of the season. We all wish him a speedy recovery and will miss him greatly.

Final score Crecora Manister  6 – 12 Kilteely Dromkeen  1 – 5
