Post date: Oct 3, 2014 10:04:08 PM

Kildangan Under 13s secured the Division 5 league title Friday evening with something to spare, scoring 15:05 to Grangenolvan's 2:10. The scoreline tells it's own story, apart from the opening point for Grange, which was quickly answered by a Joey O'Sullivan point, Kildangan were in front throughout the game.

By half time the score was 10:03 to 1:04 in favour of Kildangan, however Grange were starting to get a grip scoring 1:03 in the last few minutes of the half. A first half scoring blitz from Kildangan full forward Dylan Fitzgerald ensured that Grange had a mountain to climb in the second half, Dylan finished the half with a tally of 9:01, Cian Murtagh added a goal with Daniel Gilbert chipping in with a brace of points.

Kildangan were first from the blocks in the second half with a Daniel Gilbert free, Dylan Fitzgerald added a goal in the next move. Further goals by Oran Phelan, Sean Fitzgerald, Mark O'Donovan and Dylan Fitzgerald and an Oran Phelan point ensured that a new name would be on the cup in 2014.

15:05 could be considered a fantastic return for the Kildangan forwards, however the back division worked exceptionally hard to keep the Grange attack at bay, limiting them to long range points for most of the game. The midfield pairing of Joey O'Sullivan and Eoghan O'Fearghail covered every inch of ground on a wet and greasy pitch.

All in all a fantastic team performance, everyone gave 100%, and a special mention for Grange who never stopped trying, even when the game was beyond reach.
