\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 2-13 Kilruane MacDonagh’s 0-9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kilruane started well and fired over two points inside the opening three minutes while \u00c9ire \u00d3g \u2018keeper Kevin Flynn was also asked to make an important save in the second minute.<\/p>\n

A Philip Hickey effort demanded a fine save from the Kilruane goalkeeper in the third minute and in the sixth Mark Tuite burst through following a fine pass from Bob O\u2019Brien. Once more the Kilruane \u2018keeper saved, but this time at the expense of a point and \u00c9ire \u00d3g were off the mark – 0-1 to 0-2.<\/p>\n

Kilruane added two further points to their tally and led 0-4 to 0-1 with twelve minutes played.<\/p>\n

The Blues asserted themselves however in the remaining minutes of the opening half when out-scoring the defending champions 2-8 to 0-2.<\/p>\n

Three points in three minutes tied the game – a Donnacha Quinn free got \u00c9ire \u00d3g moving in the right direction before Philip Hickey set up James Mackey for a fine point. Then, in the 15th minute, John Cahalan intercepted a Kilruane puck-out and fired over a rousing equaliser – 0-4 apiece.<\/p>\n

Mark Tuite created the room for James Mackey to fire \u00c9ire \u00d3g into the lead for the first time in the 17th minute. Bob O\u2019Brien won a free which Donnacha Quinn converted soon after and although Kilruane converted a placed ball of their own Bob O\u2019Brien was on hand to set up John Cahalan for a terrific left-handed point in the 23rd minute. Two minutes later Philip Hickey won a free which Donnacha Quinn converted and the Blues now led by three.<\/p>\n

On the half hour mark Kilruane responded with a free, but seconds later Killian Gleeson\u2019s terrific diagonal delivery picked out full-forward Mark Tuite who battled brilliantly before burying a right-handed shot. Two minutes later John Cahalan\u2019s cross was flicked home by Philip Hickey. Bob O\u2019Brien then set up Mark Tuite for a ninth \u00c9ire \u00d3g point and the Blues led 2-9 to 0-6 at the break.<\/p>\n

The second half proved a bad tempered affair.<\/p>\n

Two Kilruane frees closed the gap to seven points before Donnacha Quinn won and converted a free in the 42nd minute to present \u00c9ire \u00d3g with their first score of the second half – 2-10 to 0-8.<\/p>\n

Fifteen scoreless minutes ensued before Philip Hickey won a free which Donnacha Quinn fired over to leave nine between them.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s first score from play in the second half materialised in the 64th minute when Gary Howard set up John Cahalan for a smashing point. Kilruane added a point from play to their tally before Donnacha Quinn notched another in the sixth minute of injury time.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately \u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s Andrew Coffey and a Kilruane player were shown straight red cards by referee Kieran Timmons in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n
