Kilshannig End 18 Year Wait   08/09/2014

Kilshannig were crowned North Cork Junior A Football Champions for the first time since 1996 following a thrilling 2-15 to 3-11 win over Ballyclough in Buttevant on Sunday. Kilshannig produced a stunning second half comeback to end an 18 year long wait. Ballyclough looked in control early in the second half as they moved into a 3-08 to 1-07 lead. Kilshannig though fought back and an inspired Damien Murphy goal helped Kilshannig draw level 3-08 to 2-11 entering the last quarter. Ballyclough once again however took control and three unanswered points put them into pole position with less then 10 minutes remaining. Kilshannig were not to be denied on this occasion, though, and showed tremendous character in the closing stages. Points from Eoin O'Sullivan and man of the match Killian O'Hanlon tied the game before O'Sullivan popped up in injury time with the match winner to secure the title.
