Kilmeena visited Islaneady in our 3rd game of division 6 decider. This team which consists of some of our older boys, minors, players coming back from injury and first team fringe players. This is probably the club's most important team as it is the link to a thriving underage structure and a healthy senior panel where there is competition for first team positions. This was a wonderful performance and you would be proud to experience the endeavour and skill on show. A special word goes out to 3 young men that made their debut today, Paul Hoban, Josh Mulchrone and John McGlynn. They were terrific. The future of the club is very bright with these lads coming through. That's 3 wins from 3 games. Well done lads. Kilmeena Abu! Match report Darren Madden.

Division 2, Round 5. Tuesday 24th April, 2018 Kilmeena were at home to Ballintubber for this 5th round game of the Spring League. On a chilly evening with just a light breeze and a break from the rain, conditions were good for the game of football. A game best summarised as ‘..........one that Kilmeena dominated for long periods but failed to make possession count on the scoreboard ‘ The Kilmeena lads effectively owned the ball for the first 25 minutes of the game but only had a solitary point to show for their possession dominance on the scoreboard. In fairness, the visitors weren’t exactly troubling the scoreboard operator up to this stage either – in fact, Ballintubber hadn’t troubled the scoreboard operator at all during this period. And then it happens – the visitors lob the ball in the direction of their half forward line, find themselves in lots of space and a few seconds later, the ball is in the back of the Kilmeena net. Ballintubber then pressurised the Kilmeena kick-out and their efforts were rewarded with a further goal and 3 points. Kilmeena did manage another point before the small whistle to leave a scoreline of 2 – 3 to 0 -2 in favour of the visitors. Aided by a slight breeze, Kilmeena began the second half brightly and notched up a couple of points to reduce the Ballintubber lead down to 5 points. But the visitors, sensing the opportunity to bag 2 valuable league points, were not going to lie down and they responded with a point from play and a free. Try as they did, Kilmeena could not get the scores that their efforts warranted. When Liam Moore came on in the last quarter, Kilmeena’s conversion from possession improved - Liam accruing 1 – 2 from play, in well taken scores. This gave Kilmeena a platform to push Ballintubber all the way to the final whistle but the visitors defended resolutely and in the end Kilmeena just couldn’t find that extra bit of firepower to alter the scoreboard in their favour. The final score was: Kilmeena; 1 – 7, Ballintubber; 2 - 8 Next up: Breaffy away on Tuesday 1st May The panel present this evening comprised of the following: Cathal Cawley, Ben Lennon, Adam Sheridan, Tom Smythe, Sean Prenty, Ronan O’Donnell, Oisin Grimley, Chris McGlynn, Kian Moore, Mark Hastings, Jason McGlynn, Ian Murphy, Daniel O’Malley, Chris McNally, Jack Walsh, Cillian O’Grady, Liam Moore, Rory Nolan, Sean Sammon, Connor Sammon, Luke Garavan.

The first round of the Junior Championship started yesterday evening in St. Brendan's Park when Kilmeena and Tourmakeady lined out. The evening was a little wet and left the ground a little greasy but full credit to the ground staff the field was in great condition. The game was well contested but Kilmeena were creating the better scoring chances. Tourmakeady kept themselves in the game by scoring goals. Half time score Kilmeena 1 - 12 Tourmakeady 2 - 01. The second half played out pretty much as the first but Kilmeena turned the ball over too easily with poor pass execution. Also kick some poor wide shots. Again Tourmakeady scored goals to keep the game interesting. All in all it was a good performance and great to get off to a winning start. On a side note the management and team would like to wish David Stenson all the best in the future. He has been a great club man. Kilmeena Abu!

Drafted in to the the team for the day was Finn Mulchrone from the U8s who performed heroics in both games.

Match report by David O'Malley. Kilmeena Ladies Junior team kicked off their 2018 season with a trip to Davitts of Ballindine on Sunday afternoon last. This year Kilmeena will compete in Division 3 of the ladies’ senior league. The first half was an intense and bruising affair as both teams tried to take control of the game. Playing against a very stiff breeze Kilmeena battled bravely to keep in touch with a fit and physical Davitts side. The half time whistle was welcomed by both sides as the game was played in very humid conditions. Davitts to their credit held a commanding lead at the half time interval. Kilmeena started the second half brightly with some stylish attacking play. Kilmeena to their credit picked off some nice scores during the second period. Some brave defending led to a series of expansive counter attacking play that any senior ladies team would be proud of. The whole team dug deep but unfortunately it wasn’t to be their day. The mental strength of this Kilmeena team is to be admired as they never gave up and fought to the bitter end. It was a historical day for many of the ladies as they were making their debut for the Parish. Considering the result, this group will improve and prosper as the season goes on. It’s early days in the formation of this team but signs are positive for a bright future. Click HERE for more match images

Kilmeena were back on home turf for this 4th round game against ‘table toppers’ Bohola Moy Davitts. Weatherwise, conditions were ideal for football – cloudy but dry with a light breeze. The visitors got off to the perfect start, catching the Kilmeena rearguard out of position and scoring a goal inside the opening minute. From the resulting kick-out, Kilmeena were again under pressure and with the referees whistle not sounding in favour of the men in black and white during the early exchanges, Kilmeena just couldn’t mount a sustained attack into the Moy Davitts danger zone. Ultimately, the visitors were awarded a free-in; which they duly converted (for a point). 1 – 1 to no score in favour of the visitors with 5 minutes of play having elapsed. Following some positional tweaking from the sideline, the Kilmeena lads slowly but surely began to find their rhythm and a fantastic point from Ian Murphy opened Kilmeena’s account. From here until half time the home side played with greater intensity and aided by a half back line that provided a solid first line of defence the men in black and white launched a number of counter attacks. Following some great team play, Kian Moore finished the ball to the Moy Davitts net. This was followed shortly afterwards by another Kilmeena goal from the trusty boot of Chris McNally. In between both sides exchanged points, to give a half time scoreline of 2 – 3 to 1 – 5, in favour of the home team. The scene was set for a tight second half – anyone’s game then......!! And so it was............... Kilmeena players, numbers 2 to 7 (aided randomly by other home-side players) put in a masterful display of defending, which limited the Moy Davitts team to a goal and two points for the entire second half. In fairness the visitors didn’t make it easy either for the home side, with Kilmeena’s only scores entering the final 10 minutes of play being a goal each from Ian Murphy and Kian Moore - it was a 2 point game now. That was until Ronan O’Donnell (who put in a man-of-the-match performance), won possession around the middle of the pitch and set off on a solo-run towards the Moy Davitts goal, then delivered a perfectly timed pass to Chris McNally, who finished to the net. Kilmeena pressurised the Moy Davitts re-starts and through a combination of frees and open play, added a further 3 points to their tally. A strong finish and deserved 8 point winning margin for the Kilmeena lads at the final whistle. Kilmeena are away to Mayo Gaels on Tuesday 17th April, 2018 The panel present this evening comprised of the following: Cathal Cawley, Ben Lennon, Adam Sheridan, Tom Smythe, Cillian O’Grady, Ronan O’Donnell, Robbie Staunton, Chris McGlynn, Mikey Hastings, Mark Hastings, Jason McGlynn, Ian Murphy, Sean Prenty, Chris McNally, Kian Moore, Daniel O’Malley, Jack Walsh, Rory Nolan, Connor Sammon, Harry Sheridan, Liam Moore.
