Kilnadeema/Leitrim

Hurling Club

Cumanan Luthchleas Gael Cill na Dioma - Liathdroim


 

Kilnadeema/Leitrim and Mellick/Eyrecoart meet in a rearranged Intermediate League game in Leitrim on Wednesday April 4th. This was a big game for both clubs if League success was to to be achieved later in the year and was also a good guide for Kilnadeema/Leitrim to see how they were going against a team who were Senior last year. The game was played at a championship pace all through with Mellick/Eyrecoart much the better team in the first half scoring their two goals to open up a lead at half time. Eamon Hyland playing at full forward scored his sides goal with a well struck shot. Sean Burke from play and Tom Tierney from placed balls were also very prominent on the score board for Kilnadeema/Leitrim. With David Tierney having a great game at centre half back Kilnadeema/Leitrim took over in the second half with some great scores coming from Tom Tierney again, Shane Flaherty and Sean Burke, but it was the display of Eamon Hyland that really gave Kilnadeema/Leitrim a foot hold on the game with some wonderful points from all angles to leave his side winners in the end 1-17 to 2-11. This game was a good test for Kilnadeema/Leitrim and sets them up for even better performances ahead.
