Kilshannig 1-17 Ballyhea 0-07
Kilshannig made it three wins in a row with a deserving 13 point victory over Ballyhea in their Division 2 Hurling League meeting at Glantane last Sunday. Kilshannig made light of a poor first half display, trailing 0-6 to 0-4 at half time, to overpower their opponents with a strong second half performance to run out convincing winners. Ballyhea had the aid of the breeze in the opening period and were more efficient in front of goal while Kilshannig struggled to make the most of their opportunities to trail by two at the break. The home side though improved after the resumption and they took over completely. Killian O'Hanlon fired over a number of excellent points to move his side ahead as Kilshannig were simply too strong with Conor Casey, Ian Twomey and Tadhg Twomey excellent in defence. With Kilshannig totally dominant entering the final quarter, Diarmuid O'Sullivan and Dylan O'Callaghan pointed to widen the winning margin while Cian Nagle added a goal late on as Kilshannig eased to a comprehensive victory.
Scorers for Kilshannig: K O'Hanlon 0-15 (0-9 frees), C Nagle 1-0, D O'Sullivan, D O'Callaghan 0-1 each.

Kilshannig 3-11 Glanmire 0-08
Kilshannig got off to a good start in the County Junior A Football League with a comfortable victory over Glanmire in Glanmire on Wednesday evening last. Kilshannig did most of the damage in the opening half with goals from Phelim O'Connell, Darragh Mahoney and Killian O'Hanlon easing them into a 3-6 to 0-2 half time. Kilshannig dominated proceedings for large parts and this was reflected on the scoreboard with Tadhg Twomey, Frank McCarthy and Richie Ryan on target also. The second half was a more even affair as Glanmire to their credit fought their way back into the game. While they managed to add to their account with a succession of well taken scores, Kilshannig's lead was never in danger with Richie Ryan and Dylan O'Callaghan among those pointing from long range to secure an opening round win.
Scorers for Kilshannig: D Mahoney, K O'Hanlon (0-1 free) 1-1 each, P O'Connell 1-0, R Ryan 0-3, T Twomey 0-2, F McCarthy, M Twomey, A O'Connell, D O'Callaghan 0-1 each.
