Shane Donohue pictured in action for Rathcline.
A dominant first half performance paved the way for the Wexford champions Kilanerin to score a comfortable win over Rathcline in the Leinster Intermediate Club first round game at the Clonbonny grounds, Lanesboro on Saturday.
Kilanerin (Wexford) . . . 1-12 Rathcline . . . 0-6
Played in difficult wet and windy conditions, it turned out to be a tame exit for the Longford Intermediate champions who were fighting a losing battle from the moment former Wexford All-Star, 38-year-old Matty Forde, set up full-forward Peter Hughes for the decisive only goal in the closing stages of the first half as Kilanerin held a healthy 1-8 to 0-3 lead at the break.
