Eight points from the boot of man of the match award winner Cian Dooner played a major role in the Minor Football Championship success for Killoe Og at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday last.
Killoe Og . . . 0-11 Carrick Sarsfields/Kenagh/Moydow . . . 0-10
In the end it turned out to be a hard earned victory over Carrick Sarsfields/Kenagh/Moydow as Killoe Og made amends for the disappointment of losing out to the Shamrock Gaels amalgamation in last year’s U-18 final.
Killoe were three points ahead going into stoppage time in a tense and exciting finish to the Harte Cup final but had to sweat it out to capture the county minor title as two late scores from the Carrickedmond/Legan/Kenagh/ Moydow amalgamation left just the minimum of margins between the sides in the end.
