Junior A football semi-final

Kilbrittain have earned a spot in this years Junior A football Final after a dramatic one point victory over St Marys on Sunday evening last in Timoleague. Kilbrittain were 1-3 to no score down after the first 15 minutes but then found their range with 8 unanswered points to take the lead. St Marys added a point to make it 0-8 to 1-4 at half time. Kilbrittain put over 2 points on the re-start but then left St Marys back into it with a goal in the 8th minute. A penalty brilliantly saved by Seamus O'Brien was a huge phsycological boost to Kilbrittain but that didn't capitalize and St Marys hit four points without reply before a Noel Griffen free steadied Kilbrittains ship. St Marys added a free and then missed one as Griffen hit over another free with time up. St Marys hit their final score in the 2nd minute of injury time to lead by 5 before Josh O'Donovan got through for a 'Consolation' goal in the 3rd minute of injury time. Within a minute, Declan Harrington was fouled and the resultant free was lobbed into the square and broke to the hands of substitute Owen Sexton and he found the net with the last kick of the game mush to the delight of the Kilbrittain sideline and support. Final score Kilbrittain 2-12 St Marys 2-11. Kilbrittain now await the winners of Kilmacabea and St Oliver Plunkets which will be played next Saturday.
