Sunday 18 July 2010 Division 4
Kilcock Celtic 3 Kilcullen 2
Kilcock Celtic continued their impressive season to date with a hard fought over
division 4 leaders Kilcullen. Celtic played with the wind in the first half of this game
and used it to good affect.
They went 1-0 up after the first half hour of the game. David O’Hanlon crossed the ball in
and Eoin Moriarty finished putting the home side in front.
Kilcock went 2-0 in front after five minutes later when a quick move down the pitch saw Eoin
Moriarty put Keith Gill through and he smashed the ball to the back of the visitor’s net.
Kilcock went 3-0 in front after 40 minutes when a long ball from Alan O’Brien was not dealt with by the Kilcullen keeper and fell to inrushing Chris O’Meara to slot the ball into an empty net.
Half time score Kilcock Celtic 3 Kilcullen 0
This was a game of two halves and the second half of this game was a different game altogether.
Kilcullen got a goal back after within three minutes of the restart. A long ball into the Kilcock box caused problems and saw a Kilcullen player latch on to the loose ball to score a goal.
Kilcullen now had the wind with them and were playing much better football than
they were in the first half of the game.
They got a second goal back after 70 minutes when another long ball into the
home defence was not cleared and saw another goal snatched for the visitors.
In the remaining minutes of the game, Kilcullen pushed hard for an equaliser but
Kilcock held firm to record another win.
Best for Kilcock Celtic were Lorcan Fagan, Chris O’Meara, Paul Doran, David O’Hanlon and Keith Gill.
