Kynog United V Kildare Town
Kynog Utd 1 - 6 Kildare Town
Kynog started slowly again this week and paid dearly for it. Under immediate pressure and playing into the strong wind, they found themselves a goal down as a corner was turned into the net by an unlucky defender. A second corner brought a second goal as Jason McDonough rose high to head home. Only minutes later Kynog found themselves four down as Conor Mulholland and then David Hickey fired home. Kynog's first half misery was complete as Brian O'Reilly fired a fifth home just before half-time.
Into the second-half, and this time it was Kildare who started slowly and within seconds of the restart, Kynog got onto the scoresheet through Adam Lynch. Kynog's heads were up now, and they went close through Craig Harris, Dylan Casey and Lynch as they were competing better in the middle of the pitch with Glen Thorpe winning a lot of ball. With Kynog pressing, they were always going to be short at the back, and David Hickey ran on to add Kildare's sixth as they ran out comfortable winners.

Kynog United V Arlington
Kynog Utd 2 - 2 Arlington
A misty morning in Timahoe saw a firecracker of a match between two evenly matched teams. Kynog started slowly and Arlington penned them back in their own half winning a series of corners without creating any clear cut chances. Just as Kynog were finding a foothold in the game, Arlington took the lead as Andrew Prendegast ran on to a through ball to finish. This was enough to spur Kynog on, and they roared into the game with Adam Lynch and Adam Toman both going close before Craig Harris slammed a loose ball into the net to bring Kynog level as they finished the first half on top.
The second half started as the first half finished with Kynog pressing and it was no surprise when they took the lead as Adam Lynch collected Mark Maguire's pass and ran on to drive a powerful shot home. Kynog looked to extend their lead and Lynch, Toman and Josh Harris were all unlucky not to add a third. With minutes to go, a mistake in the Kynog defence handed Evan O'Reilly the equaliser and neither team could find a winner as time ran out.

Kynog United 0
Arlington Afc 4
Arlington eventually ran out comfortable winners in this encounter in Kynog Park last Saturday. The early exchanges saw the visitors with a lot of possession in the middle of the park. The home team suffered a blow following a collision of heads which saw Cian Gilligan having to leave the field. The opening goal arrived in the 14th minute when a corner was only partially cleared and Thomas Brereton finished off the rebound. Kynog responded with Donal McGrath feeding the ball through for Conor Staines whose shot was well saved by Keith Keogh. Arlington doubled their advantage in the 27th minute when following another corner the ball broke for Keith Bracken who found the corner of the net. The home teams defence with Eoin O Reilly prominent and leading by example were now denying the Arlington forwards the space they were finding earlier. This filtered through to his other defenders Martin Baneham, Ciaron McMahon and Kevin O Brien who all deserve special mention. The second half saw the midfield area more evenly contested with Kynog always a threat on the break. As it looked like the home team might get something from the game a tremendous strike by Thomas Brereton that Blaine Treacy could only get a hand to sealed the victory. Then in the 73rd minute Ciaron McManus found space inside the Kynog penalty area to complete the days scoring. The home team were well served by Adrian Moran in midfield and the defenders already mentioned whilst for Arlington Keith Bracken excelled.
