Kilruane MacDonaghs News
Under 21
MacDonaghs bowed out of the championship when they lost to Roscrea in St. Cronan’s Park on a 1-14 to 0-14 scoreline. Roscrea were dominant in the first half and led by four points at the break on a 1-7 to 0-6 scoreline. MacDonaghs were in the ascendancy in the second half. Jack Peters, who had been magnificent in defence, was pushed forward to lead the attack. This move changed the trend of the game and with Darragh Peters exploding into life MacDonaghs took a firm grip on proceedings. They drew level inside the last five minutes. They had chances to clinch victory, but Roscrea hit three late points to book their place in the next round. Thanks to the players and team management who put in a huge effort. Team: Conor Doheny, Bob Dooley, Jack Peters, Brendan McAdams, Stephen Cleary, Tomás Hogan, Martin Grace, Darragh Peters (0-5), Conor Austin, James Cleary (0-2), Conor Cleary (0-1), Caoilainn Conroy, Finnian Mannion, Kieran Cahill (0-6) and Cian Darcy. Subs: Cormac Mannion and David Mooney.
