Our Senior Footballers got their County Championship campaign underway yesterday when they took on Kilsheelan-Kilcash in blustery conditions in Cashel. Kilsheelan played with a strong breeze in the first half and capitolised on this going in at half-time leading 1-6 to 0-3, their goal coming from an Evan Comerford penalty. With the breeze at our backs our young team set to work straight away reducing the lead and scores from Aidan Fogarty, Shane Doyle (2) and a well-worked goal from Shane Scully drew us back level. From there we took the lead but found it hard to contain a string Kilsheelan side who responded to ourbest efforts and had a point to spare at the final whistle.
