Kilmessan 3-13 V Trim 1-5
Kilmessan resumed from the months break with a victory over Trim in the 2nd stage of the senior championship. Trim had the aid of a strong breeze in the first half and used it to their advantage scoring 5 points from both play & frees coming from Aisling Fagan 1point, Christine Fagan 3points, and Brid Guy 1 point.
Kilmessan kept in contention from the reliable free taking of Aileen Donnelly. The home side edged ahead with an opportunist goal from Mary-Ellen Sheridan but that was quickly cancelled by Aisling Fagans goal down the other end coming from Trim after a poor clearance by the Kilmessan defence, leaving the visitors leading by 1-05 to 1-02 at half time.
Kilmessan upped the tempo in the 2nd half and with the aid of the breeze blitzed the Trim defence scoring an impressive 2-11 and keeping the Trim forwards scoreless for the entire half. Kilmessan’s Sarah Ross, Aileen Donnelly and Anne Marie Dennehy impressed for the home side. Trims Suzanne Hayes, Sharon Campbell, Katie Hackett and Yvonne Maguire were best for Trim.
