Club Notes Week 10 2023   13/03/2023

EK Superleague Final Dr. Crokes 1-18 Kilcummin 0-15 (AET). This was a highly entertaining game played in poor conditions in the Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday last. We came up against a very physical Kilcummin side who played their best football in the first half. Our boys played very defensively throughout the half with David Naughton, Brian Fitzgerald and Evan Looney in top form. Kilcummin had a goal opportunity after 24 minutes of play but thanks to our hard-working back lines it resulted in a point for the opposition. We trailed by two points at the half time whistle. Dr. Crokes 0-06 Kilcummin 0-08. The second half was entertaining as the first with some great long rang points from both teams and particularly from Shane Murphy, who finished the day with 4 points. In the 56th minute Chris Doncel found the back of the Kilcummin net after a fantastic run from the 45m line, giving us a three point advantage that we needed. From there it looked like we were going to finish out the game but Kilcummin pushed on and scored 3 successive frees. Full time score 1-11 to 0-14. We took control early in extra time with Mark O’Shea fielding well. Kilcummin were reduced to 14 men with 8 minutes to go when one of their players were shown a second yellow in the 2nd half of extra time. We ran out 1-18 to 0-15 winners after a hard fought 80 minutes. We play Killcummin again this Sunday in round 1 of the County League.
