Kingscourt 0-15 Drumalee 0-10

The Juniors opened their Division 4 campaign with a home victory over Drumalee by 0-15 to 0-10 on Sunday.  This keenly contested match swung from periods of domination by both sides with the home side making the most of their defences’ miserly display in the first half.

The home side lead by 0-8 to 0-3 at half time thanks to scores from Drew McCabe, Daryl Martin and Barry Tully who combined well with veteran half forward Joe McCarty for Kingscourt’s best score of the half.

Drumalee came out for the second half with all guns blazing and hit Kingscourt with three unanswered points but Kingscourt  lashed back with seven points to lead 0-15 to 0-6 with less than a quarter remaining. Late Drumalee scores narrowed the gap but Kingscurt held on for victory.

Next up is a home match against Mullahoran on Friday night at 8.30pm
