\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g came out on top courtesy of a dominant second half display. Indeed, in that half \u00c9ire \u00d3g held Kildangan scoreless from play before P\u00e1raic Kelly struck for a goal in the fourth minute of injury time.<\/p>\n

A Donnacha Quinn free presented \u00c9ire \u00d3g with an early lead before Ruair\u00ed Gleeson (free) responded for the champions. Tommy Heffernan and Paul Flynn traded fine points thereafter before a superb Tadhg Gallagher effort in the ninth minute handed Kildangan a 0-3 to 0-2 lead.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g then took control and fired five points without reply to take a 0-7 to 0-3 lead by the 19th minute. Donnacha Quinn (frees) accounted for two of these efforts while Michael Heffernan, Andrew Coffey and Paddy Murphy added to the Blues\u2019 tally.<\/p>\n

Kildangan responded with efforts from Joe Gallagher and a Ruair\u00ed Gleeson free to leave two in it with 22 minutes played.<\/p>\n

A Tommy Heffernan effort forced \u00c9ire \u00d3g three clear, but Kildangan then fired three consecutive points, courtesy of Gary Byrne, Joe Gallagher and P\u00e1raic Kelly, to level the game (0-8 each) with 26 minutes played.<\/p>\n

The tit-for-tat nature of the opening half continued with points from Donnacha Quinn (free), Killian Gleeson, Gary Byrne and a long-range effort from Hugh Flannery leaving the sides locked on 0-10 apiece at the break.<\/p>\n

The vital \u00c9ire \u00d3g goal materialised in the 32nd minute. Wing-back Barry Heffernan found Paddy Murphy with a searching delivery; the full-forward then worked the ball out to Killian Gleeson who beat \u2018keeper Darragh Egan with a neat finish (1-10 to 0-10). <\/p>\n

Murphy then added a point of his own before setting up Pearse Morris for another in the 34th minute and, suddenly, \u00c9ire \u00d3g led 1-12 to 0-10. Six minutes later Donnacha Quinn converted a placed opportunity to leave six between the sides.<\/p>\n

Darragh Egan landed two long-range Kildangan frees in the 41st and 43rd minutes to reduce the margin to four points.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g settled back down to their work with a converted Donnacha Quinn free in the 53rd minute before a Michael Heffernan point from play opened a six-point gap (1-15 to 0-12).<\/p>\n

Michael McNamara saved a Darragh Egan 21-yard free with five minutes to play before Andrew Coffey cracked over a 16th \u00c9ire \u00d3g point on the hour mark.<\/p>\n

Willie Connors opted to go for goal from a free in the 61st minute which John Brennan saved, but as the game petered out to an inevitable conclusion Kildangan\u2019s P\u00e1raic Kelly lashed home Willie Connors\u2019 sideline ball.<\/p>\n

Kildangan have been outstanding champions of the division and the \u00c9ire \u00d3g club would like wish them all the very best in their county championship campaign.<\/p>\n
