The brilliant news
to come out of this game is that the Kilnadeema/Leitrim Junior B team have qualified for the knockout stages of this year's
championship after a very easy and comprehensive victory over south
Galway side Beagh on Sunday Evening July 8th in Kilbeacanty. This
was a game that really showed how strong this team can be as they
scored at will all day. Kevin Molloy opened the scoring after one
minute with a pointed free before the first of 15 scores from play
came when Corner Forward Cathal Shiel pointed a minute later. Beagh
soon replayed with a point from play themselves before points
followed from impressive forwards Danny Burke and Brian Costello on
5 and 6 minutes to open up a 3 point lead. Cathal Shiel who is
enjoying a new lease of life as a forward in 2007 then added his
second point from play on 10 minutes and Brian Costello who was
enjoying more freedom as a half forward also tacked on his second a
minute later. Beagh were already in trouble but kept in touch with a
second point from a free a minute later. Danny Burke with two
further points and Brian Costello with an impressive three more
scores all from play had Kilnadeema/Leitrim in cruse control
by the 22 minute with Beagh only reply a point from another free
sandwiched in between. There were no further scores to the half time
break as the score line read Kilnadeema/Leitrim 0.11 Beagh 0.03. The
second half was a poor affair as Beagh offered no sign of a comeback
to the Kilnadeema/Leitrim lead while the east Galway side took the
foot off the pedal as well. Jason Collins opened the scoring after
half time with a point from play before Beagh replyed with another
pointed free on 12 minutes ( there only score of the second half).
Brian Costello then added his sixth point half way through the half
before Kevin Molloy added his second pointed free of the day two
minutes later. Kilnadeema/Leitrim now brought in three substitutes
before Cathal Shiel added another point on 20 minutes. Kevin
Molloy with another point from play and finally substitute Adrian
Comhar also scored from play on 28 minutes to close out the scoring
on a great day for all associated with this team. The team can now
take a welcome break before they play again on 11th August.
