Post date: Aug 4, 2017 12:14:03 PM

Despite suffering a one point defeat to Ardclough on Tuesday evening in round two, Kildangan are through to the quarter final of the Reserve C Championship. The North Kildare men started strongly with four points in a row before Kildangan got their first. Ardclough made the most of their goals chances as two helped them to a 2-5 to 0-5 lead at half time. The Greens' performance picked up massively in the second half, as they registered 1-8 and restricted the opposition to 1-3. The game went right down to the wire with Kildangan pushing until the final whistle, but Ardclough's first half flurry just saw them over the line in a 3-8 to 1-13 win. Nevertheless, if Kildangan can show their never-say-die determination in the next fixture throughout the entire game, great things could be achieved. The quarter final is due to take place on Monday, 14th August. The venue and throw-in time have not yet been decided, but will be posted here as soon as they become available.Kildangan: John Miller; Conor Mulholland, Luke Barry, Daniel Cawley, Gabriel Murtagh, Bryan Adams, Brandon Foley; Damien Broughall, Michael John Prendergast; Liam Keogh, Stephen Quigley; Ryan Moran, Eric O'Hara, Andrew Wilson.
