Ahane minors draw with Kilpeacon

Ahane played out a massively high scoring draw against a combined team under the banner of Kilpeacon Gaels on Friday evening last in Caherelly.

While Ahane played some lovely hurling in the first half, scoring 1-12, they still managed to go in behind at the break as they conceded a 4-4 themselves! Having come flying out of the blocks after half time, Ahane soon found themselves 3 points to the good. It looked like they had weathered the storm, steadied the ship and were going cruise to victory - but Kilpeacon had other ideas. Both sides traded a succession of fine scores for the half as we entered the final few minutes with Ahane 2 points to the good, 2-22 to 4-14. Then, through a 21m free, Kilpeacon goaled and looked set for victory. Then it looked like Kilpeacon had put the final nail the Ahane coffin as they knocked over another point before Ahane showed immense resolve to dig deep and reply with two quick points of their own to steal a draw in what was a frantic finish to the game.

Those in attendance were certainly witness to a fine entertaining game of hurling comprising fine individual performances on both sides, excellent passages of creative play and a flurry of scores totaling 7 goals and 39 points between the sides. Well done to all involved.

Final score: Ahane 2:24 Kilpeacon 5-15
