Ahane travelled to Killeedy on Sunday morning to take Killeedy on in the Senior County Semi Final. Weather conditions were horrendous from start to finish as the rain poured and a fierce wind blew throughout the game. Killeedy were off the mark first and had scored 1-04 in the first fifteen minutes with no response from Ahane. At the water break the score was Ahane 0-00 Killeedy 1-04. Ahane started the second quarter with more fire and started to get some scores. Éle Madigan got Ahane’s first score after savage work rate out the field. With conditions worsening players were slipping and sliding all over the place and the ball wasn’t travelling any distance against the wind. Judith got Ahane’s next score from a free, before Noreen put pressure on the Killeedy keeper, managed to block her down and the ball flew over the bar from the block down. The final point of the half was from Killeedy. The half time score was Ahane 0-03 Killeedy 1-06. Ahane’s moment of magic came in the 11th minute of the second half as Shauna Darcy got on the end of a lovely ball in from Judith, pulled on it first time and got the all-important goal! The Ahane joy was short lived though as Killeedy came back down the field and scored a point and then got a goal. The score at the second water break was Ahane 1-03 Killeedy 2-07. Killeedy were first to score after the water break and it was a goal. They got another point before Judith popped over a placed ball for Ahane. Killeedy went down the field again and dealt the killer blow as they scored their fourth goal. The final score of the game was a point from Killeedy. Huge credit to the Ahane side who fought throughout and never gave up. Full time score Ahane 1-04 Killeedy 4-09
