Boys Bow Out in Semi Final

The boys bowed out today in the semi final against Kentstown.

Kentstown started well and were three goals to the good after only a few minutes. Kildalkey were a little shell shocked with this start and tried their best to get into the game - however, Kentstown held the upperhand for the rest of the first half. Their two midfielders in particular were powerhouses in the centre of the field.

At this stage, the worst was feared for Kildalkey, having shipped five goals by half time. However, showing great spirit and commitment, they promised at half time to give it their all for one last half. They tore into Kentstown after the resumption, with the sixth and fifth class boys leading the charge. Great point from Niall, Adam and Sam were added to with goals from Niall and Lorcan/Evan. They outscored Kentstown in the second half, which was a fabulous achievement, given the circumstances.

Kentstown deserved their victory on the day but our boys can hold their heads up high, having put in a spirited and and fighting second half performance. Well done on a good year for gaelic football in the school!!
