Kilshannig Defeat Buttevant In Hurling League   01/06/2014

Kilshannig 1-22 Buttevant 2-13

Kilshannig were worthy winners over Buttevant in their Division 2 Hurling League clash on Saturday evening last. Kilshannig will no doubt be very pleased with the outcome having played 45 minutes of the contest with 14 men as they earned two valuable league points. It was the home side who began excellently as they struck a goal in the opening minute. While Kilshannig had some well worked points through Dermot Twomey and Trevor O'Regan, the goal continued to separate the sides with Buttevant in the ascendency by the end of the opening quarter, 1-4 to 0-4. Kilshannig then received a further blow shortly after as they were reduced to 14 men. However, they responded superbly to this as they dominated the remainder of the half. The outstanding Dermot Twomey and Frank McCarthy continued to torment the Buttevant defence while O'Regan and Roddy O'Mahony also caused several problems. Twomey and O'Regan pointed before O'Mahony should have had a goal but had to settle for a point to put the sides level. Kilshannig though did manage to find the net just before the break with Trevor O'Regan finished from close range to push his side 1-9 to 1-7 ahead at the interval. Kilshannig continued to contol proceedings after the break with Ian Twomey and Liam Casey particularly impressive. The sides exchanged points before Kilshannig hit a number of fine scores from play as they linked well in attack to move in a 1-17 to 1-11 lead with ten minutes remaining. Buttevant though kept themselves in contention with 1-1 in quick succession to cut the deficit to two. Kilshannig however, finished well with substitute Kevin O'Flynn adding three late points to ensure victory.
