Kilmeena U-16s recorded an impressive home win over Ardnaree in a top of the table clash on Sunday evening last on a perfect sunny evening for football. Both teams played flowing football from the start and the home side settled with an early point, but on a mix up in the home defence let Ardnaree in for a goal after 5 mins. Both teams traded points to leave it 1 - 03 to 0 - 3 midway in the first half. Kilmeena found the net on 18mins after a flowing move, but Ardnaree hit back with 3 points before the break to lead 1 - 06 to 1 - 03.
The second half began with more intensity and with the home side now dominating at midfield, they ran at Ardnaree from all areas scoring 2-04 without reply to lead by 7 mid way through 2nd half. Just as the game seemed to be swinging in favour of the home side, Ardnaree hit back with 1 - 01 to leave 3 between them entering the last 10mins. Kilmeena responded with 3 points but a converted Ardanree penalty on 27mins set up a frantic finish. A Kilmeena point on 29mins put 4 between them to leave a final score of 3 - 12 to 3 - 08.
This result completed a great week for Kilmeena U16s as on Thursday evening last they recorded an impressive away win over Swinford with a final score of Swinford 2 - 04, Kilmeena 3 - 15. With the league now complete and Kilmeena sitting proudly on top of the table (7wins out of 8) they can now look forward to a home semi final.
Well done to all involved on a great season so far.
